TDA is excited to announce next school year’s National School Lunch Week (NSLW) theme: Level Up with School Lunch! We are pleased to share that the next school year’s theme aligns with the School Nutrition Association (https://schoolnutrition.org/sna-news/announcing-the-2023-nslw-and-2024-nsbw-themes/) which will make planning for and participating in this national celebration more convenient for you and your school. The Level Up with School Lunch theme is intended to engage students and encourage them to eat healthy school meals by linking nutritious foods to video games that resonate with them. Students can gain health points (aka “HP”) with fruits and vegetables or “Power Up” with protein food from your menu. Get ready to level up your recipes, student health, and fun at your school, October 9-13!
Coming soon: Get creative and get started this summer with your NSLW campaign. No cost NSLW 2023 resources and ideas on how to celebrate including Cafeteria posters, Taste Testing Toolkit, Menu and Recipe Resources, Digital Media Toolkit, and more will be available on the Texas Department of Agriculture site starting July 6. Be on the lookout for the TDA NSLW printed resource order form this summer.
