Today is School Lunch Hero Day!
SFSD school nutrition staff strive to make lunchtime the favorite part of every student's day. From their friendly greetings in the cafeteria and the love they dish out with every student’s meal, to how they encourage kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, our school nutrition professionals are true heroes.
Between preparing healthy meals, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, our nutrition professionals have been mixing up the menu and getting students excited about trying these healthier choices.
Please help us celebrate these amazing individuals today by thanking them for their hard work and dedication!

The survey is open until the end of the school year. Take the survey once for each child enrolled. If you prefer to only take it on, please reference the oldest child in your household. Thanks for your participation!
