Celebration theme was “School Lunch Snapshot” … sharing the best, real images of today’s school lunch programs.
Abington Schools celebrated National School Lunch Week with principals and staff donning cafeteria garb as they and school lunch staff served nutritious lunches to students. National School Lunch Week recognizes the National School Lunch Program and the 30 million children it serves every day. The program in Abington emphasizes the healthy foods that are offered daily at Abington Schools. During this week lunch program staff pointed out that school lunches are healthier than ever, with more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and less fat and sodium. The federally-funded National School Lunch Program provides nutritionally balanced, healthy meals to students every day. The program, which has been serving the nation’s children for over 60 years, requires school meals to meet federal nutrition standards like offering fruits and vegetables every day, serving whole-grain rich foods, and limiting fat, calories, and sodium.
Shown here, principals and staff members help celebrated the week by serving lunches in our schools.
