This is National School Lunch Week. The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. #NSLW22

Lunch prices for the 2022/2023 school year will be $2.75 for MMS and MHS students and $2.50 for MES. Breakfast will remain free of charge.
