Celebrating National School Lunch Week

Posted on

It is always fun to be in our school cafeterias, but this week there is even more fun to go along with the great food and friendly atmosphere. That’s because this is National School Lunch Week, a time to celebrate the delicious and nutritious meals served up every day by our amazing school lunch staff. The theme for this week is “Taste the World: Your School Lunch Passport” and our schools will be showcasing entrees on their menus that are inspired by different countries around the world.

Some schools are truly embracing this year’s theme, others are getting a head start on decorations for the Halloween holiday, all decked out with ghosts and goblins galore.

Jordan School District cafeterias serve more than 30,000 meals every single day thanks to the dedication and hard work of 500 cafeteria employees. Mouth-watering bread and desserts are made from scratch, as well as lasagna, chili, chicken enchiladas, even calzones. The most popular menu items are mandarin orange chicken, pizza, and corn dogs.

Thanks to our great cafeteria workers for making every day such a wonderful dining experience for students, teachers, staff, and parents!
