Since 1962, National School Lunch Week has been an important reminder that a healthy school lunch is an important part of a student's life, helping them thrive in and out of the classroom. Every year, during the second week of October, cafeterias across the nation celebrate with a week of fun. This year, from October 14-18, join the celebration and “find your treasure” with this year's School Lunch Pirates theme!
