To recognize the National School Lunch Program, serving nearly 30 million children each day, schools nationwide will celebrate National School Lunch Week from October 11-15, 2021. The theme, “WILD About School Lunch” highlights the importance of a healthy school lunch to a student’s success both in and out of the classroom. . . .Our self-contained Simple Choice Meals, part of our extensive Meal Breaks line, are perfect for staffing challenges and help speed up lines.
I know you’re aware of, and likely involved in, the many challenges facing school foodservice as students head back to school this year—everything from supply chain issues to Covid-19 concerns. Challenges include staffing issues, social distancing, site shutdowns, and limited time for meal service. . . . E S Foods can offer a key solution to many of these challenges: Pre-Packaged Meals.
The top story in last week’s SNA SmaratBrief, the weekly School Nutrition Association online newsletter, was an article featured in The Conversation that describes how free school meals have improved outcomes in students’ health, reduced stigma around free meals, and provided benefits for overall school foodservice operations.
23 Heroes! While this number seems arbitrary, those chosen to win certainly were not! Yes, of course, we are all too well aware of the fact that there are hundreds, no thousands of deserving School Lunch Heroes. Started by SNA several years ago, Annual School Lunch Hero Day is celebrated May 7 this year and we wanted to honor our hardworking heroes.
