Happy National School Lunch Week (October 9-13)!
Every day, about 30 million students across the nation receive a healthy school lunch. School meals are planned to be consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the national recommendations based on the latest nutrition science. We celebrate the many ways school lunches are offered using continued creativity and innovation. These efforts level up nutrition and ensure kids have the healthy fuel they need to learn and grow.
We want to thank our school nutrition professionals nationwide for your commitment to ensuring children are well-nourished and ready to succeed in school! Thank you for your hard work and dedication each and every day!
