CASSOPOLIS — Between preparing healthy food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, Cassopolis Public Schools nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate. To celebrate their hard work and commitment, Cassopolis Public Schools celebrated School Lunch Hero Day Friday. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series.  School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.

All across the school district, school nutrition professionals were honored and recognized from students, school staff, parents and the community through social media platforms and spotlights. (Submitted photos)
