"School Lunch Hero Day is held annually on the first Friday in May in honor of each person responsible for providing lunches (and food) to millions of children across America. This year, it will take place on May 3. If you look forward to tasty food and a full belly in school, you know exactly whom to thank for this. These include school nutrition professionals and even those who serve the food in cafeterias. Each person responsible for making sure good food is handed out to students is a hero, and this day was specially designed to show them some love."

Staff appreciation week starts tomorrow! Help us say thank you to all of our staff from the payroll clerk to the teachers, bus drivers, maintenance workers all the way to the custodians, secretaries, and the school nurse!
