The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom.
During this annual weeklong celebration, SNA members and students around the country will celebrate in their cafeterias, schools and districts with special menus, events, student activities and more.
Be sure share your NSLW menu items, activities and photos on social media posts with these hashtags: #NSLW21, #SchoolLunch, #WILDSchoolLunch.
Tag SNA on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram—we can’t wait to see what you are planning and may share your content! Use the official
