National School Lunch Week

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October 9-13th is National School Lunch Week! The fun and creative campaign theme, “Level Up with School Lunch,” highlights the importance of a healthy school lunch to a student’s success both in and out of the classroom. Research shows students are getting their healthiest meals at school. NSLW will highlight the delicious and nutritious foods available daily at our schools. School lunches offer students fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and milk, while meeting the federal nutrition standards of limiting fat, calories, and sodium. NSLW is an opportunity for Nutrition Services to educate others about all the amazing benefits of our lunch program! We have a fun video game theme menu this week! Parents and students can follow the fun on social media using hashtags #NSLW23, #LevelUpWithSchoolLunch, #SchoolLunch and #SUHSDnutrition. You can also follow Nutrition Services on our new Instagram account @SUHSD_nutrition to follow along. Here’s to a fun week!

August Fruit of the Month Recap!

Stone Fruit was the Fruit of the Month for August. Students had the opportunity to try nectarines, peaches and plums throughout the month! Below is a photo of the fresh fruit served at Chula Vista High School. As part of the School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program, students are required to take a serving of fruit or vegetables with their meals. We are proud to be able to serve healthy, fresh produce to our students daily!

During the month of July we featured watermelon as our Fruit of the Month. The cafeterias across the district served this refreshing and popular fruit throughout the month. Below are pictures of our great crew at Montgomery High School preparing watermelon for students.

Wing Tasting!

Last week students at Sweetwater High and National City Middle had the opportunity to participate in our wing tasting. Students were able to try two flavors of wings and take a survey letting us know what they thought and if the wings should be on next year’s lunch menus. Thank you to all of the students who participated in our survey! We love to hear all student feedback so we can continue serving nutritious and delicious meals!

Welcome Back SUHSD Students!

We are excited to announce our new January through March breakfast and lunch menus! We have 13 new menu items that we are sure students (and staff) will enjoy. Unfortunately, we are still experiencing shortages so menus are subject to change based on availability. If there is a food allergy, please notify staff and submit a ‘Medical Statement to Request Special Meals and/or Accommodations’ form. We look forward to continue feeding healthy, nutritious foods to each student in the Sweetwater community!
