The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the IMPACT it has inside and outside of the classroom.

Join us in giving a HUGE shout out to our fantastic Food Services team. Thanks for all you do! #BASDCafeStaffRocks
