NATIONAL TAKE YOUR PARENTS TO LUNCH DAY
National Take Your Parents to Lunch Day changes annually. During this event, parents will visit their children’s school and have a meal with them in the school cafeteria.
The goal of the day is to learn more about what goes into putting together a healthy lunch. Parents and school officials have an opportunity to open the lines of communication so they can work together to provide kids with the healthiest meals possible. It’s also a terrific day to find out what your child enjoys about school lunches. When adults show an interest in the daily life of their children, they have the opportunity to learn their routine. They also see first hand the potential for growth and keeping your child’s brain fed for learning.
Giving children the opportunity to show adults the ropes in the lunchroom will also cue you into where they may struggle. What’s working for them? Which foods should your child try more of? Providing follow up with and networking with the school becomes a powerful way to help students stay healthy and fueled all day long.
