School Lunch Hero Day to be celebrated on May 2

School Lunch Hero Day, observed on May 2, is a celebration of the impact school nutrition professionals have on every child who comes through their cafeteria.  

This day is a way of recognizing the efforts of these team members who provide healthy meals to students—not only preparing food but also serving it with a smile and kind word, encouraging children to try new things and get all the nutrients their growing bodies need.  

More information and resources are available at  https://schoolnutrition.org/about-school-meals/school-lunch-hero-day/. Be sure to use the hashtag #FuelingKSKids when sharing celebrations on social media. 

Contact KSDE Child Nutrition and Wellness at (785) 296-2276 with questions.
