Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, New Buffalo Area Schools nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate.

To celebrate their hard work and commitment, New Buffalo Area schools will celebrate School Lunch Hero Day today, May 5. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series.

School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.
