Tazewell County Public Schools will celebrate National School Lunch Week October 12–16 with the theme “Cafeteria Circus: Where Healthy Choices Take Center Stage.”
“Our cafeteria teams work hard every day to prepare nutritious meals that our students enjoy,” said Jerry Smith, Supervisor of Food Services and Textbooks. “National School Lunch Week is a chance for our community to see the care behind each tray and celebrate the people who make it happen,” Smith added.
Throughout the week, school cafeteria teams will host activities highlighting nutritious meals and healthy choices. TCPS provides breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), helping students stay healthy, focused, and ready to learn.
The celebration also recognizes the food service employees who make school cafeterias welcoming places for students.
“We appreciate our food service employees for preparing nutritious meals and building positive relationships with our students,” said Dr. Chris Stacy, Superintendent of Tazewell County Public Schools. “Their daily efforts create a welcoming environment and provide the nourishment students need to stay focused and succeed in the classroom.”
We invite students, families, staff, and our community to join the celebration and thank their school’s food service team.
