FCPS Celebrates National School Lunch Week – October 13-17, 2014

Every year, schools across the country celebrate National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in October to raise public awareness about the nutritional value of the federally funded lunch program available at schools and to involve students in school lunch.

The National School Lunch Week (NSLW) 2014 theme is “Get in the Game with School Lunch.” It’s about the importance of balancing good nutrition with plenty of physical activity, and the sports theme was created to be fun and engaging for kids.

Recognizing NSLW can help you:

  • Increase student participation in the school lunch program
  • Spread the message to parents that we are serving healthy and tasty meals
  • Connect with teachers and administrators to spread the word that school meals are healthy

Our SchoolDistrict
FCPSserves an average of 12,525 lunches per day within 66 schools.

We would like to celebrate this promotion in our elementary schools in order to help increase school lunch participation and raise awareness of the benefits of school lunch.

  • We will play sports-themed music in the cafeteria during lunch.
  • Students and staff members can dress up in their favorite sports teams’ jersey during NSLW
  • We encourage those that normally pack their lunch to buy lunch at least once during the week.

Volunteer Orientation: Our Volunteer Orientations were held on September 17th and 18th. Thanks to Alexis O’Toole, Shelly Tribett, and John Giffin for organizing these. We appreciate all of our parent volunteers and value our partnership!
