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!

A healthy lunch is more than just a meal. It fuels young minds and supports learning and growth. Every year during the second week of October, National School Lunch Week serves as a reminder that a well-balanced lunch is an essential part of every student's day. By showcasing the importance of a healthy lunch, we can encourage better eating habits while promoting overall wellness among students.
