The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) was created by an act of the U.S Congress in 1946. The NSLP pays for 5-billion healthy lunches each year in 95% of all public schools. The School Breakfast Program (SBP) was established in 1966. School lunch guidelines are published every 5-years by the USDA.
School Lunch Hero Day was created by a partnership between the School Nutrition Association, and children’s author Jarrett Krosoczka—the author of a number of picture books including the “Lunch Lady” series. The first day this holiday was celebrated was on May 4, 2012, and it’s a day that’s been celebrated on the first Friday in May every year since.
