They might not fly or have superpowers (or maybe they do—we wouldn’t be surprised!) but there’s no question that school food service workers are heroes.
During the FMS school year, our school kitchen personnel prepare three thousand breakfasts and seven thousand lunches every day (more than 2 million meals in one year). That’s why they are School Lunch Heroes on #SchoolLunchHeroDay!
Join NMSNA/SNA and schools across New Mexico and the country in celebrating School Lunch Hero Day on May 5, 2023. This special day is dedicated to recognizing the hard work and dedication of school nutrition professionals! These unsung heroes work tirelessly to provide nutritious and delicious meals to students every day.
SNA loves collaborating with children’s author and illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka of the Lunch Lady graphic novel series to celebrate School Lunch Hero Day every year.
“School Lunch Hero Day has far exceeded my hopes and vision for what the celebration could be,” Krosoczka says. “It has become a huge annual party, which means the world to me.”
In addition, Governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham has issued an official proclamation for the second year declaring Friday, May 5, 2023 – “School Lunch Hero Day” in our Great State of New Mexico!!
Thanks, School Lunch Heroes for ALL you do, we salute you!
