This year’s theme for National School Lunch week is “Level Up with School Lunch,” which 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 with fruits and vegetables or “Power Up” with protein food from their menu. All week Richardson ISD will serve fun and healthy lunches that include all the nutrition students need to learn, grow, and thrive.
“A healthy lunch fuels success in the classroom,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said. “Every year, the Texas Department of Agriculture works hard to ensure our school nutrition teams have the resources they need to teach Texas children about healthy eating habits that will last long after the school day is done. This week, I encourage young Texans to join us in supporting school nutrition in Texas, as we ‘Level Up with School Lunch’ to see how a balanced diet can make a difference in the classroom and for a lifetime.”
RISD encourages every student to enjoy a nutritious school lunch every day this week. Every child, every day. #RISDBelieves
