School meals are an important part of keeping students engaged and at their best at school. National School Lunch week is a chance to recognize the importance of a nutritious meal while adding a little excitement to the lunch line.
This year’s them is “Taste the World: Your School Lunch Passport” and each day this week, CCPS food services staff will serve up cuisine from all corners of the globe. Students can savor the flavors from Italy, Mexico, Spain, Japan, Cuba and the United Kingdom.
High school students can also fill their plates at their cafeteria’s new “build-your-own” ramen bar, which offers chicken or pork and an array of fresh vegetables including carrots, edamame, cabbage and corn. The ramen bar will be available for the remainder of the school year.
Students who take a taste this week will also get the chance to win books exploring and celebrating foods of the world.
