This week, October 15-19, is National School Lunch Week (NSLW), and this year's theme is "School Lunch - What's Cooking?"
"School Lunch - What's Cooking?" is about celebrating the positive changes that have been made in school lunch programs across the country. Schools nationwide have been cooking up all sorts of exciting programs and plans. For example, this school year, the Academy's cafeteria transitioned to providing 100% whole grains and increased more fresh fruits and vegetables on our menu. We also do our part to cut calories by providing 1% and fat-free milk at all meal services. Our students enjoy tasty menu items such as chef garden salads (made with romaine lettuce) and low-fat ranch dressing, scrambled eggs and grits, whole grain hamburger/hot dog buns and bread slices.
Along with providing nutritious meals, beginning November 1, the Academy will implement an automated lunch system to help expedite lunch service for all students. So encourage your child to eat breakfast and lunch at school. It will do the body good!
