It's National School Lunch Week!

Peace, Love and School Lunch!

Celebrate National School Lunch Week! A healthy school lunch contributes towards student’s success both in and out of the classroom. Thank you to our Elmira City School District cafeteria staff for ensuring every student has access to well-balanced meals every school day.

Through our Community Schools programming in Elmira, we collaborate with a variety of community agencies to ensure students are fed outside of school days as well. We also extend our thanks to those agency staff and volunteers this week.

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. #NSLW22 will be celebrated October 10-14, 2022.
