National School Lunch Week is right around the corner!! Oct 15th to Oct 18th
Help us celebrate the benefits of eating school lunch!
Kitchen staff is looking forward to welcoming students and promoting this exciting week at each of our elementary sites!!
Child Nutrition Services will be conducting a coloring contest in honor of NSLW! Each site will submit their 3 best pics to the kitchen lead by October 18th, where the top 3 from all sites will be determined by a judging contest from participating ESF staff members. The top 3 winners will have their artwork featured on the Child Nutrition Website!!
Also - look for a menu change on Tuesday, October 15th (Chicken and Waffles) and fun activity pages for students to complete. Artwork and activity pages will be posted in the cafeteria windows - engaging students and starting a school lunch buzz!
