Warsaw Schools Celebrates National School Lunch Week
Posted
Staff Report-
To recognize the National School Lunch Program, serving nearly 30 million children each day, Warsaw Community Schools is celebrating National School Lunch Week through Friday.
The federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been fueling students for success for more than 70 years, according to a news release from WCS. The theme, “Now Playing: School Lunch!” puts the spotlight on the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life.
WCS thanks all who work in the WCS food services department for their ongoing commitment to children in this community. Through their dedication, WCS provided meals to hundreds of families during the COVID-19 school building shut down, over the summer break and during eLearning days. Their willingness to go above and beyond is greatly appreciated.
National School Lunch Week will highlight the nutritious foods available daily at WCS.
“School lunches offer students fruits and vegetables, whole grains and milk and meet federal nutrition standards limiting fat, calories and sodium,” said Marci Franks, director of food services. “National School Lunch Week helps us educate parents and students about all the wonderful benefits of our lunch program.”
The “Now Playing: School Lunch!” campaign is made possible by the nonprofit School Nutrition Association.
Parents and students can follow the fun using the hashtags #NSLW2020, #NowPlayingSchoolLunch and #SchoolLunch. For more information on National School Lunch Week, visit https://wcsfoodandnutrition.org.Warsaw Schools Celebrates National School Lunch Week
