Theme: Taste the World – Your School Lunch Passport
Get ready, students! National School Lunch Week is right around the corner — October 13th through 17th — and this year we’re taking your taste buds on an exciting trip around the world!
Each day, we’ll be “traveling” to a new country and exploring delicious school lunches inspired by international favorites:
🇮🇹 Italy – Pasta Primavera
🇬🇧 England – Baked Fish & Chips
🇲🇽 Mexico – Carne Asada Tacos
🇨🇳 China – Chicken Veggie Stir-Fry
Students will receive a Lunch Passport at the start of the week. Each time they try one of the featured international meals, they’ll get their passport stamped! After tasting all four meals, students can submit their completed passports and vote for their favorite dish.
All participants who complete their passports will be entered into a drawing to win a “Goodie Bag from Around the World” filled with fun surprises representing the countries we’ve visited!
This week is all about celebrating the diversity, creativity, and excitement that school meals bring to our students every day. We encourage everyone to participate, explore new flavors, and discover how food connects us across cultures.
Bon appétit! 🍝🌮🍟🥢
