National School Lunch
October 12th – 16, 2015
"School Lunch Snapshot”
The National School Lunch Week theme for the 2015-2016 school year was “School Lunch Snapshot”, and was celebrated October 12-16, 2015. This year’s theme was all about snapping photos to showcase the beautiful, healthy meals served by the school food service staff to smiling students every day. Disposable cameras were given to school food service managers, who took pictures highlighting their own students enjoying the colorful, delicious food cooked in the school’s kitchen. Those pictures were then developed and displayed on a custom poster board to give everyone a “snapshot” of what school lunch is like in Palm Beach County. In addition, fun fruit smiles were given to students to encourage them to “keep their selfie healthy with school lunch”!
Nutrislice
The SFS Department continues to utilize Nutrislice, an online menu platform.
