School Lunch

Schools with small numbers of low-income kids aren't now required to participate in the federal school meal program. In all, an 11-bill package advanced.

It's a new school year, a crazy start, but a new school year none the less. Whether your kids are at school or home, they still need a good healthy lunch.

No one wants to take food away from a child, but school districts across New Jersey are faced with that decision on a daily basis.

Although schools in NJ are working to make school lunches healthier and tastier, many students disagree, saying they routinely discard their school lunch or purchase snacks as an alternative.

School is almost out for the summer in New Jersey and while many children look forward to getting out of the classroom, for hundreds of thousands of youngsters across the state, it means they no longer have access to breakfast and lunch.

It's National School Lunch Week...we say, "Thank you to all the lunch ladies and lunch men!"  Mine in my elementary school were so nice!

Taking a look back at the "school lunch" ..... smell the memories :)

The State Department of Agriculture is hoping to get more nutritious meals into the mouths of children who need them through their Summer Food Service Program.

The Agriculture Department is responding to criticism over new school lunch rules by allowing kids to eat more grains and meat in the lunchroom.

Healthier food choices are at the forefront across New Jersey as school districts statewide commemorate National School Lunch Week.
