🍎🥪🥦 Celebrating National School Lunch Week! 🎉
This week, we've had some special guests join our incredible school nutrition staff to serve up delicious meals and spread joy. 🙌
Did you know that the National School Lunch Act, established under Richard B. Russell and signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1946, provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost, or no-cost lunches to children each school day? 📜
Georgia boasts the fifth-largest program in the nation, serving around 4.9 billion lunches throughout the school year. 🍽️
In the 2022-2023 school year, Murray County played its part by serving a whopping 823,421 lunches! Our nutrition staff takes immense pride in ensuring our students enjoy delicious and nutritious meals daily. 🤩
We're also thrilled to share that three of our lunchrooms achieved the prestigious title of "Georgia Tray of The Week" and were recently honored by the state in Macon. 🏆
Join us in our mission to "Level Up with School Lunch"! A big thank you to our dedicated nutrition staff and everyone who supports our efforts to nourish and educate our students. 👏👩🍳👨🍳 Let's continue to shape tomorrow by empowering our students today together! 💪 #SchoolLunchWeek #NutritionMatters #ThankYouNutritionStaff #URmurray
