National School Lunch Week

National School Lunch Week is a fun week of celebration and fun as we learn nutritional information about each lunch throughout the week. This year's theme was "All-Star School Lunch." Mrs. Land, the Open Doors students, and a few other school family members pitched in to make this week just great!

The NBA inspired theme was comprised of five teams: CP's Pizza, Dwight's Dillas, Vince's Veggies, Nash's Noodles, and Taurasi's Teriyaki. On the menu for Day One....

You can see all the nutritional value in this fabulous meal cooked by none other than our very own cafeteria staff!

We love these ladies!

"Mmm mmm!"

De'Eric, James, and Charles cannot wait to chow down!

Our class really enjoyed Dwight's Dillas as we listened to "Getcha Head in the Game" from High School Musical. National School Lunch Week always provides wonderful entertainment during lunch. Last year, Mrs. Land and some of her Open Doors students actually dressed up as the foods! It was hilarious!

We are so thankful to the cafeteria staff for taking care of our nutritional needs!

Yes, the food was very yummy! But, the decorations were great! Mrs. Johnson walked around the room like the paparazzi taking pictures of lots of artwork on the walls. Take a look...

The tables were even decorated with centerpeices and everything!

Fast break with warm-ups and exercise!

Mrs. Johnson's Open Doors students with their projects.

The Open Doors students did several activities analyzing the amount of sugar in certain foods. Jendaya quickly came back to tell Mrs. Johnson that all those Cokes she drinks throughout the day were NOT a good idea! Boy, did Mrs. Johnson's face turn red!

Tip off!

Technical Foul!

Warm-up with good nutrition!

It was a wonderful week that could not be made possible without the leadership of Mrs. Land and her little helpers! Thank you for all your hard work!
