Some ideas to celebrate National School Lunch Week - Oct 13th - 16th - This year's theme - "Cafeteria Circus".

I put together a free “Making It Cool to Eat at School - Celebrate Our School Lunch Heroes!” color poster you can print and a coloring sheet that you can hand out to kids to color, and if you want, make a Kids Art Gallery wall in the cafeteria with their artwork. I think they look kinda circusy cause the veggies are having a lot of fun, and I think its good for us to put the spotlight on school food service folks as heroes!!! Anyone is welcome to use.

We also have some other free, kid-friendly nutrition materials that might be helpful for celebrating the week. Just go to: https://www.foodplay.com/free-materials/free-materials/ and scroll down to "Free Materials for Parents and Educators".

And, thanks for your incredible work feeding our kids in this crazy challenging world!

What a blast we had making nutrition come alive during our afterschool workshops with 4th and 5th graders, part of the OPMAD Afterschool Program in Hartford Public Schools! Kids jumped into the fun—acting, playing, and exploring how they can choose foods that are good for their health and the health of the planet too! We served up our own recipe of fresh strawberry shortcake which was a bit hit. And, last week we made "Veggie Grab-Bags" filled with cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, and cucumber wheels, great to bring along when you're on the run. The best advice for parents I think is to serve up fresh veggies with a dip at a time when your kids are at their hungriest...like after school or when waiting for dinner, kids will eat those veggies right up!
