Pirate Families,

Throughout this school year, Texas school nutrition professionals have served healthy meals to ensure students can access the nutrition they need during these challenging times. Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Sid Miller, is dedicating May 7th, School Lunch Hero Day to honor the tireless efforts of school nutrition professionals as they continue to find new and innovative ways to provide meals in any academic setting.

During the past several weeks, I have witnessed firsthand the skill levels of our lunch ladies and gentlemen, also known as “foodies”, while working side by side with them during times of being short staffed. The passion that these “foodies” have shown our students has made me proud to recognize them every day, but now we can celebrate them on May 7, 2021 for School Lunch Hero Day. So please take a moment and thank our School Lunch Heroes this Friday!

Need help knowing where and what to check? Pinterest has 100's of quick references for parents.

On a personal note, if your child has a tik tok account and you don’t, you should definitely set one up just to experience the uncensored content our kids are seeing/hearing, etc.
