School Lunch Hero Day is celebrated annually, on the first Friday of May, to honour those who provide lunches (and food) to millions of students across the United States. This year’s event will occur on May 5. If you anticipated tasty food and a full stomach at school, you know exactly who to credit. These include school nutrition specialists and even cafeteria servers. Each individual responsible for ensuring that students receive nutritious food is a hero, and this day was created to show them appreciation. HISTORY OF SCHOOL LUNCH HERO DAY The tradition of school lunches dates back to the eighteenth century. Count Rumford, who was born in America, escaped to Germany during the Revolutionary War. He would provide impoverished children with food and education in exchange for part-time labour. Probably one of the earliest examples of a soup kitchen, he served them barley, potatoes, sour beer, and other frugal foods. During this time, the concept of providing free school lunches to children did not acquire much traction in the United States; however, the next century saw an influx of immigrants. Many of them could not afford even the most fundamental necessities, such as sustenance. In the 1870s, an estimated 12 percent of school-aged children in New York City were homeless, and those living in households were not better off. Child labour laws mandated that children be removed from the streets, resulting in an influx of hungry children into institutions. This would develop into a national concern. Theorists and reformers devised strategies to aid these children. A 1903 article published in The School Journal states that “healthy school lunches were an opportunity to improve the physical vitality of the urban population.” Small-scale programmes in cities such as Boston and Philadelphia demonstrated that such programmes can have lasting benefits. With this in mind, social workers, charitable organisations, and schools formed partnerships. The school lunch was founded. National School Lunch Act In 1946, the National School Lunch Act was passed, making school lunches mandatory. Today’s school lunches range from the traditional to the exotic, providing dynamic options to satisfy a variety of palates, flavours, and cultural preferences. After graduating from high school, author and illustrator Jarrett Krosoczka had a fortuitous encounter with his lunch lady, Jean. The fact that she still remembered him astonished him. This served as the impetus for his next book series, Lunch Lady, in which a lunch lady and her sidekick combat crime. Krosoczka invited Jean to a launch party for these graphic novels and presented her with artwork and paperbacks. He did not discover how much this meant to Jean until her funeral in 2011, several years later. His artwork was set next to her coffin. Her widow told Jarrett that although Jean did not receive much gratitude, she adored every child she ever served. Krosoczka established this day in honour of Jean in collaboration with the School Nutrition Association. The initial celebration occurred on her birthday the following year. Two Rivers school is blessed with an amazing lunch crew. No matter what well laid out plan we may have in place, there is usually a curveball that gets thrown at us. This group of ladies are quick to adjust and make serving the students look effortless, even when it is a chaotic scramble to make it all work. During this week of staff appreciation, we think that we all make an amazing team. From the top of the totem pole, to the very bottom. It takes all to make this machine work. So if you walk by the lunch crew today, say thank Thank You!
