An autumn-themed graphic displaying the word "OCTOBER" in vibrant orange bubble letters over a soft yellow and green watercolor background. The letter "O" is rendered as a smiling pumpkin wearing a purple-and-orange striped witch hat topped with a star, with green vine flourishes and small fall leaves accents surrounding the text.

🍂 Around the Cafeteria This Fall

Fall is here! 🍁 As the leaves begin to change and the weather gets cooler, we’re welcoming a new season at MGSD School Nutrition.
October is a great time to enjoy the flavors of fall, celebrate the people who make school meals happen every day, and appreciate the little things that make this season special. From crisp apples and seasonal favorites to warm, comforting meals, there’s plenty to look forward to this month.
So grab your lunch, gather around the table, and fall into flavor with MGSD School Nutrition! 🍎🍂

🍎 Did You Know?

October is National Farm to School Month! 🌱
Farm to School Month celebrates the connection between students, schools, local farms, and the food on our plates. It’s a great time to learn more about where our food comes from and appreciate the farmers and producers who help put fresh food on our tables.
This fall, take a moment to look at your plate and think about where your food began! 🍂🥕🍎

Beneath the tent, the words "CAFETERIA CIRCUS" are written in bold circus-style lettering, flanked by a green broccoli icon on the left and a red apple icon on the right. The bottom text reads "NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK" and "OCT 12TH-16TH ★ 2026" set between yellow stars.

🍽️ National School Lunch Week

October 12–16 | National School Lunch Week
Even though our students will be enjoying Fall Break during National School Lunch Week, we still want to take a moment to celebrate the importance of school meals and the amazing people behind them!
Every day, our school nutrition teams work hard to serve meals that help students learn, grow, and stay ready for the day.
This week is a chance to say THANK YOU to our cafeteria teams, managers, assistant managers, and everyone who helps make school meals possible.
💙 Thank you for all you do to nourish our students!
🍎 School Lunch = More Than a Meal
School meals give students the fuel they need to learn, participate, and take on their day. Behind every meal is a team of people working together to make it happen—and we are proud of ours!
