Happy National School Lunch Week! Shoutout to our incredible food service team for serving up healthy, delicious meals every day.
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week 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.

Our 5th graders got an exciting, hands-on presentation from Semco Gas last week! Students learned all about how energy works and simple, effective ways to conserve it at home.
To help put their new knowledge into action, every student received a special energy-efficiency kit packed with items to help reduce energy and water use right in their own homes.
Huge thanks to Semco Gas for empowering our students to make a bright, sustainable difference!
