💛 School Lunch Hero Day – May 1st 💛

On Friday we celebrate the incredible School Lunch Heroes who show up every day to nourish, care for, and support our students across Portland Public Schools.

From preparing healthy meals, serving with a smile, and keeping our cafeterias running smoothly—our Nutrition Services staff are true heroes behind the scenes. Their work helps ensure students are fed, cared for, and ready to learn each day.

We are so grateful for the dedication, teamwork, and heart they bring to every school meal served. Thank you for all you do! 👏

🍌 Happy National Banana Day! 🍌

Today we’re celebrating one of the most popular fruits around! Bananas are naturally sweet, easy to grab on the go, and packed with nutrients like potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber to help fuel busy school days.

Whether sliced on cereal, blended into a smoothie, or enjoyed just as they are, bananas are a simple and delicious way to add more fruit to your day.

How do you like your bananas? Let us know in the comments! 💛
