School Lunch Hero Day

School Lunch Hero Day, celebrated on May 2, 2025, is a heartwarming opportunity to recognize the hardworking cafeteria teams who nourish students with care every day. Founded in 2013 by author Jarrett Krosoczka and the School Nutrition Association, this day celebrates the dedication, kindness, and hard work of school nutrition professionals.

These heroes do much more than serve meals—they create welcoming spaces, encourage healthy habits, and support students’ well-being with a smile. Honoring them teaches students the value of gratitude and highlights the important role every adult plays in their daily lives. At NIMCO, we offer a variety of appreciation materials, including posters, buttons, and small gifts, to help your students and staff express heartfelt thanks.

Order your School Lunch Hero Day materials today, and make sure your cafeteria heroes know just how much they’re appreciated for fueling minds and hearts.
