Boise School District To Celebrate National School Lunch Week
“Now Playing: School Lunch” highlights #NSLW2020
For Immediate Release
(Boise, ID) -- September 29, 2020 -- To recognize the National School Lunch Program, Boise School District will celebrate National School Lunch Week from October 12-16, 2020. The theme, “Now Playing: School Lunch!” shines the spotlight on the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life.
National School Lunch Week will highlight the nutritious foods available daily in Boise Schools. Children will have an option to choose from “create your own pizza” and a “cheeseburger taco”. 
 
The federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) has been fueling students for success for more than 70 years. Currently, children can receive meals at no cost. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), free meals will continue to be served to all children through as late as December 31, 2020. The USDA says allowing summer meal program operators to continue serving free meals to all children into the fall months will help ensure that children have access to nutritious food as the country recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
The “Now Playing School Lunch” campaign is made possible by the nonprofit School Nutrition Association. Parents and students can follow the fun using the hashtags #NSLW2020, #NowPlayingSchoolLunch and #SchoolLunch.
