Between preparing healthy food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, MPISD nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate and we celebrate their hard work and commitment, This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series. School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.

The importance and nutritional value of school meals are well documented. For many children, school lunch is the most important and nutrient-rich meal of their day.

We honor our cafeteria staffs across MPISD! Thank you for keeping us fed, healthy, and happy!
