National School Lunch Week (NSLW) is taking place October 9-13. We all know that learning is tough work—and students need the right fuel in order to be successful. That’s why a healthy mid-day meal is crucial to growing school children.
NSLW was created in 1962 to promote the importance of healthy school lunches in a child’s life and the impact it has both in and out of the classroom. After all, research shows children are getting their healthiest meals at school, and studies have proven that school meal programs play an important role in supporting obesity prevention and overall student health and academic achievement.
The Marlboro Central School District Board of Education supports this data and last year, approved a plan to provide breakfast and lunch at no charge to students for the 2023-2024 school year. Thank you to them—and to our hard-working Food Service crew—for everything they do to make sure our students have healthy and delicious meal options each day!
