national school lunch week

The week of October 14-18 is National School Lunch Week. The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) are teaming up to raise awareness of the importance of child nutrition programs in schools.

Research shows students that are nourished properly at school

  • perform better academically

  • behave better in the classroom

School board members are encouraged to eat with students during the week of October 14-18 to learn about the healthy and tasty options and experience the social benefits of public school lunches.
