It's National School Lunch Week! Veggies pictured below

Student Nutrition Services (SNS) will be celebrating National School Lunch Week Oct. 13-17! You can help your staff and students get in on the fun in the classroom too! See some engagement examples below:

  1. Write a Thank You card to Dining Staff - SNS Dining staff work to provide food to students every school day. They would LOVE to hear the appreciation from students in the form of a hand-drawn card! Feel free to post them in the dining space.
  2. Learn About SNS - Have students visit the SNS website and share with their desk partner or small group 3 things they learned about School Food!
  3. Draw a Dish on the Menu - Elementary schools can use this fun Tamal Coloring Page that celebrates both National School Lunch Week and Latinx Heritage Month! See the Menus to see when Tamales are on the menu. Find more resources.
  4. Discuss School Food in Class - While you share the coloring sheets with students to draw and learn, you can discuss School Food Fun Facts, see the slides here.

Feel free to have staff send me photos of the activities! We’d love to see who got involved.

In addition to these activities, a small SNS team will make a few site visits to talk with students, gather feedback, and do some fun activities. Our goals are to continue improving the student experience, get the students excited about school food, and provide space for questions.
