Guess who hopped by the cafeteria today? The Easter Bunny made a special appearance during lunch for our amazing 4th and 5th graders and kitchen staff! With a basket full of springtime cheer, our furry friend brought smiles, high-fives, and a touch of Easter magic to the lunchroom. Students couldn't believe their eyes when the Easter Bunny appeared between the lunch tables, pausing for photos and sharing celebratory moments with everyone! From our school family to yours, we wish you a HOPPY EASTER filled with joy, chocolate, and wonderful memories! May your holiday weekend be as bright and colorful as a basket of Easter eggs! 🐰🌷🥚

Our Main Cafeteria is buzzing with excitement as students eagerly clean their plates and share laughs over their favorite foods. The real star of the show? The new "Berry Banana Bliss" dessert that has everyone talking! This simple yet delicious treat combines sweet banana slices, creamy yogurt, light whipped cream, and fresh strawberries into a parfait that's both nutritious and feels like a special indulgence. "It tastes like ice cream but it's actually good for us!" says one happy second-grader between spoonfuls. Who knew school lunch could bring so many smiles? Nutrition never tasted so good!

REMINDER: Tomorrow, April 18th, is a student and staff holiday. We will see everyone back to class on Monday, the 21st. Have a great 3-day weekend!

Big thanks to Land O’Lakes and their amazing IdeaNation team for visiting our campus! 🌟 We were thrilled to host not only our own Child Nutrition department, but also teams from other districts and a representative from Region 13. It was an inspiring day filled with fresh ideas and flavor! Chef Suzie wowed us with a variety of delicious food samples—each one more creative than the last. From bold new takes on classic favorites to inventive spins on something as simple as a grilled cheese, the day left us energized and full of new ideas to bring back to our menus. We love opportunities like this to grow, share, and serve our students even better. 🍽️💡 Thank you again, Land O’Lakes IdeaNation, for the inspiration and innovation! #SchoolNutrition #CreativeMenus #IdeaNation #LandOLakes #FuelingYoungMinds #Region13
