Not all Heroes Wear Capes

Stop by any cafeteria to watch school nutrition professionals prepare healthy meals for students - all the while adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile - and you'll see they are true heroes! That's why we celebrate them on the first Friday in May with the annual School Lunch Hero Day.

The Great Apple Crunch is held annually in October to encourage healthy eating during National Farm to School Month. For this simple event, schools across Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest commit to crunch into locally sourced apples.

The event was created to generate excitement around local foods and increase appetites for regionally-grown and locally-grown produce, all while supporting Wisconsin apple growers.

The 2024 Great Apple Crunch was held on Thursday, October 10th. Hundreds of students across our district participated by crunching into delicious apples procured from Rock Ridge Orchard, a family-owned apple orchard located near Edgar, WI.

The Great Apple Crunch event was created in 2014 to celebrate Wisconsin farmers, healthy kids and strong communities. During the 2024 Great Apple Crunch, roughly 140,000 K-12 students across the Midwest crunched into locally grown apples.

The Wisconsin Chili Lunch event, which takes place every February on National Chili Day, was designed to promote healthy eating in schools and institutions across the state. The event is part of a broader initiative to celebrate school nutrition programs and food education.

The 2025 Wisconsin Chili Lunch was held on Thursday, February 27th. Our homemade chili was served with a cornbread muffin, fruits and vegetables, and a choice of 1% white or fat-free chocolate milk.
