To recognize the National School Lunch Program and the 30 million children it serves every day, schools across the country will celebrate National School Lunch Week from October 10-14, 2016. The theme, “Show Your Spirit” is all about getting parents, students and school officials to show their spirit for school lunch. The School Nutrition Association offers a variety of resources, including a toolkit,  to help your students celebrate

We are particularly excited this year as we recently introduced our new PINWHEELS to include on you lunch menu. Handmade with the corners turned up, each Pinwheel is easy to hold and gives you a peek at the savory contents inside. Made with whole grain dough, each Pinwheel meets 2 meat and 2 grain requirements. Varieties available now include Mozzarella Cheese, Philly Steak & Cheese, and Reduced-Fat Turkey Pepperoni. Available individually wrapped in oven-ready film, or bulk packed. We like to say we “put a new spin on lunch” with our Pinwheels!

Check out our Lunch page to learn about all of our center-of-plate options, including Pinwheels, Empanadas, Grilled Cheese,  and Mac & Cheese .  And remember to “Show Your Spirit” during NSLW!
