National School Lunch Hero Day<\/span><\/a> is May 5th! In 2013, the School Nutrition Association and <\/span>Lunch Ladies<\/span><\/i> author Jarrett J. Krosoczka established National School Lunch Hero day to celebrate school nutrition staff and all they do each day to serve their communities. This year, No Kid Hungry South Carolina is celebrating school nutrition professionals across the state for the important work they do to feed students healthy meals at school.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

School nutrition programs are critical for student well-being and success, and these programs could not function without the passion, dedication, and hard work of school nutrition professionals. School nutrition professionals are the frontline of battling food insecurity, feeding students and offering them safety and stability. While preparing food, adhering to meal standards and regulations, and bringing joy to students, school nutrition professionals show us that not all heroes wear capes \u2014 some wear aprons.<\/span><\/p>

South Carolina<\/b> School Nutrition Heroes<\/span><\/h3>

In South Carolina, even as they face numerous challenges, including supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, school nutrition staff have adapted to ensure kids continue to get healthy meals during the school day and beyond. That\u2019s why we\u2019re also celebrating National School Lunch Hero Day by recognizing School Lunch Heroes across South Carolina and uplifting the work they do to feed students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

School Nutrition Champions<\/b><\/h3>

This year, we are recognizing 6 heroes from 3 districts, including Food Service Staff, Principals, Teachers and more. Click the link below to learn more about this year\u2019s heroes. <\/span>For No Kid Hungry, School Lunch Hero Day isn\u2019t just one day \u2014 we\u2019re grateful for the commitment and compassion the school nutrition staff across South Carolina demonstrate each and every day. Thank you!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
