Ahoy, Mateys! It’s National School Lunch Week! We celebrated with the theme "School Lunch Pirates: Find Your Treasure!" 🏴‍☠️ Our amazing Food and Nutrition teams showed their school spirit in new pirate-themed shirts, thanks to a manager who went the extra mile to make the week special. It was a fun-filled week, and GPS, along with our students, want to thank FANS for taking us on this high-seas adventure of good nutrition, where we discovered treasure in every healthy meal! #NationalSchoolLunchWeek #SchoolLunchPirates #FindYourTreasure #HealthyEating #SchoolSpirit
