Some superheroes wear capes, others wear aprons! Each year on the first Friday in May, we celebrate and honor our amazing school food and nutrition professionals on School Lunch Hero Day. Between preparing healthy meals for students, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, school nutrition professionals are true heroes. School Lunch Hero Day was created by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, who wrote the “Lunch Lady” book series after returning to his old school, and seeing that his childhood lunch lady not only still worked there but also still remembered him. Take time today to say thank you to your school nutrition professionals for all they do. #SchoolLunchHeroDay
