School Lunch Week

School Lunch Week is a time to recognize the importance of healthy, balanced meals in helping students stay energized and ready to learn throughout the day. Celebrated nationwide, this week highlights the hard work of school nutrition teams who plan, prepare, and serve meals that support both physical health and academic success. It’s also an opportunity to teach students about making smart food choices and trying new, nutritious options. School Lunch Week reminds us how essential good nutrition is in helping students grow, focus, and thrive—and gives us a chance to thank those who make it all possible every day in the cafeteria.
