National School Lunch Week
Celebrating the team
that fuels our Cubs.
October 12–16, 2026
Every school day, a nutritious lunch helps students recharge and get ready for an afternoon of learning. National School Lunch Week gives us a chance to celebrate school meals—and the caring people who make them possible.
With gratitude · Cannon Nutrition Services
Behind every lunch, a caring team.
Here at Cannon, we’re celebrating the people behind the lunch trays. A heartfelt thank-you to:
Nancy Garcia
Marlin Gerges
Thank you for the time, teamwork, and care you put into serving our Cubs. Your work helps make the cafeteria a welcoming place where students can enjoy a meal, connect with friends, and refuel for the rest of their day. We appreciate everything you do for our Cannon community!
A little history
A tradition worth celebrating.
The National School Lunch Program is established, laying the foundation for the school meals we celebrate today.
Congress establishes National School Lunch Week, and President John F. Kennedy issues its first proclamation.
The annual celebration highlights the connection between good nutrition and student success—and the people who make it possible.
Make someone’s day
A small thank-you goes a long way.
Families can help make this week special with a simple gesture.
Say thank you.
Encourage your Cub to share a kind word with our cafeteria team.
Write a note.
A few thoughtful words can show how much their care means.
Draw a picture.
Let your Cub’s creativity brighten the team’s day.
Happy National School Lunch Week from Cannon PTA!
