School Lunch Hero Day

Gloucester County Public Schools to Honor the School Lunch Heroes Serving Healthy Meals
Celebrating School Lunch Hero Day on May 3, 2024


Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, Gloucester County Public Schools nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate. To celebrate their hard work and commitment, GCPS will celebrate School Lunch Hero Day on May 3. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series.  School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff, and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.

Thank you GCPS School Lunch Heroes!
