Central Public Schools Celebrate National School Lunch Week “Level Up with School Lunch” To recognize the National School Lunch Program, serving nearly 30 million children each day, Central Public Schools will celebrate National School Lunch Week from October 9-13, 2023. 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. “School lunches offer students fruits and vegetables, whole grains and milk, and meet federal nutrition standards limiting fat, calories and sodium,” said Chantelle Eshelman “National School Lunch Week helps us educate parents and students about all the wonderful benefits of our lunch program.” The “Level Up with School Lunch” campaign is made possible by the nonprofit School Nutrition Association and Kellogg’s. Parents and students can follow the fun on social media using the hashtags #NSLW23, #LevelUpWithSchoolLunch and #SchoolLunch.
