Boise Schools Celebrate National School Lunch Week
Boise, ID -- 9/17/2019 -- To recognize the National School Lunch Program, serving 30 million children each day, Boise schools will celebrate National School Lunch Week from October 14-17, 2019. The theme, “School Lunch: What’s on Your Playlist,” spotlights how today’s school cafeterias are serving up healthy menu items that kids want to eat, with increased choice and customization.

National School Lunch Week will highlight the nutritious foods available daily at schools. During this week special menus, decorations, and activities will all be part of the celebration. Visit our Boise School District menus for specific details.

School lunches offer students fruits and vegetables, whole grains and milk, and meet federal nutrition standards limiting fat, calories and sodium. National School Lunch Week helps us educate parents and students about all the benefits of our lunch program and the appealing variety of choices in the cafeteria. The federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been fueling students for success for more than 70 years. 
 
The “School Lunch Playlist” campaign is made possible by the nonprofit School Nutrition Association. Parents and students can follow the fun using the hashtags #NSLW19, #SchoolLunchPlaylist and #SchoolLunch.
