Today is School Lunch Hero Day. Thank you to all of our cafeteria staff who work hard to feed our scholars. Sometimes they are the first people at the schools in the morning to start getting things ready. And they are one of the first faces the students see in the morning, so they welcome them to school with breakfast and a smile.

Watson Chapel School District Food Services is dedicated to increasing our freshly made items. Next school year we will have taste testing events with students at all schools. We also plan to have samples at open houses, parent teacher nights, etc. so we can have our parents try our freshly made items.

This is the chicken ramen bowl offered at the Watson Chapel High School today.
