DIa de los Muertos in our Spanish classes:

Spanish I and II students have been working on shoebox ofrendas, creating tissue paper marigolds, and clay model sugar skulls.
Dia de los Muertos is Nov 1st and 2nd, but in the USA it starts on October 31st and ends Nov 2nd. This is a day to celebrate and remember our loved ones who have passed.

National School Lunch Week
October 14-18, 2024
Learning is tough work—and kids need fuel if they’re going to learn! That’s why a healthy midday meal is crucial to the growing children who go to school. Since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week, this annual observance has promoted the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has both in and out of the classroom.
The Importance of School Lunch:
Even though National School Lunch Week was declared in 1962, the National School Lunch Program goes back even further, back to 1946. Created to provide nutritious meals to children from low-income families who might not otherwise have access to a daily meal, NSLP ensures the health and well-being of all public school students, boosts academic performance by giving students the fuel they need to succeed, and closes the opportunity gap for children across the country. Today, the National School Lunch Program serves nearly 30 million children every school day. Not only does it reduce childhood hunger, but it also supports American agriculture.
Ahoy, lunch lovers! Did you discover today’s treasure in the cafeteria? Share your favorite school lunch with us! 🥪✨ #SchoolLunchPirates #NSLW24
¡A la vista, amigos! ¡Solo faltan unos días para que comience la Semana Nacional del Almuerzo Escolar! Es hora de prepararse para una semana llena de búsquedas del tesoro y comidas sabrosas. 🌟🍎 #SchoolLunchPirates #NSLW24
