It's National School Lunch Week, a time to promote the importance of healthy school lunches and the role they play in student success! Along with this being Wellness Month in our district, it's a great time to discuss nutrition with your children and raise more awareness about healthy food choices. Remember, all students receive breakfast and lunch each school day at no charge because of our district's participation in the state’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) and National School Lunch and Breakfast programs!
