Cafeterias across Jordan School District transformed into the “Big Top” for National School Lunch Week. This year’s theme, “Cafeteria Circus: Where School Meals Take Center Stage,” turned lunchrooms into a three-ring circus with decorations, dress-up, and delicious meals like Acrobat Alfredo and Ringmaster Rippers. At Golden Fields Elementary, the nutrition staff even led students in fun carnival games for prizes after lunch.

Jordan District cafeterias serve more than 30,000 meals every single day thanks to the hard work of over 500 cafeteria employees. Their dedication and care make lunch one of the best parts of the day for our students.
