Perhaps you’ve seen or heard the phrase, “Not All Heroes Wear Capes . . . Some Wear Aprons”.  This couldn’t be more relevant in school foodservice than during this COVID-19 pandemic as so many groups are working together to ensure that our nation’s school children are able to receive meals while schools are closed. Everyone is doing their part – schools, foodservice directors, cafeteria staff, foodservice providers, volunteers, etc. – to provide millions of emergency meals on a daily basis.

Serving 30 million children each day, the federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been fueling students for success for more than 70 years. This year’s National School Lunch Week 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.
