Sandy Creek Central School District
Sandy Creek set to celebrate National School Lunch Week
To recognize the National School Lunch Program that serves nearly 30 million children every day, Sandy Creek Central School District will emphasize the importance of eating healthy during National School Lunch Week from Oct. 11 to 15.
Sandy Creeks fun and creative campaign is themed WILD About School Lunch and will help highlight the importance of a healthy school lunch to student success both in and out of the classroom.
Recent research shows children are getting their healthiest meals at school, and National School Lunch Week will highlight the nutritious food available to Sandy Creek students. Menu items such as beef street tacos, Asian grain bowls and new burgerdillas will bring focus to the goal of striving for five, a program focused on how the five food groups help create flourishing students.
"School lunches offer students fruits and vegetables, whole grains and milk, and meet federal nutrition standards limiting fat, calories and sodium," said Tracy Sullivan, the Sandy Creek cook manager. "Thanks to pandemic waivers, school meals are free for all students this year, so its a great time to give school lunch a try. National School Lunch Week helps us educate parents and students about all the wonderful benefits of our lunch program."
Some planned activities for their WILD About School Lunch Week include five try days called Mega Dairy Monday, Fruit Filled Tuesday, Veggierific Wednesday, Grain Thursday and Protastic Friday all of which will feature that specific food group. Each student will receive a food group-themed prize for participating.
The federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been fueling students for success for 75 years.
The WILD About School Lunch campaign is made possible by the nonprofit School Nutrition Association and Kellogg's. Parents and students can follow the fun using the hashtags #NSLW21, #WILDSchoolLunch and #SchoolLunch.
