Annually, on the first Friday in May, we celebrate School Lunch Hero Day! School Lunch Hero Day provides the perfect opportunity to recognize and thank our hard-working professionals in your school cafeterias.

We are thrilled to share the success of this year's School Lunch Hero Day celebration! Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, along with the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, joined us at the ballpark to honor our dedicated school nutrition professionals. Commissioner Miller recognized their unwavering commitment to providing nutritious meals to our students.

Our #FBISDFoodie team enjoyed an exciting game at the ballpark, culminating in a victory for the Space Cowboys! We deeply appreciate the remarkable contributions of our team.

Looking ahead, we are committed to continuing to highlight the outstanding efforts of our school nutrition team. Their dedication ensures that our students receive the best possible meals every day.

On April 22, we’re going green with our Harvest of the Month: Broccoli!
Join us as we serve up broccoli trees during lunch in honor of Earth Day, because nothing says "love your planet" like eating your greens! 

Fort Bend ISD Receives Cream of the Crop Recognition for Farm Fresh Challenge

We are proud to announce that our school nutrition team has been honored with the Texas Department of Agriculture’s (TDA) Cream of the Crop Recognition for our outstanding participation in the 2024 Farm Fresh Challenge! This accolade highlights our commitment to incorporating fresh, local foods into school meals while educating students and the community about the importance of nutrition and local agriculture.

What is the Farm Fresh Challenge? The Farm Fresh Challenge is an annual initiative by the Texas Department of Agriculture that takes place every October. It encourages Child Nutrition Program operators across the state to serve local foods, teach students about local products and nutrition, and share their farm-to-school journey on social media. By pledging to participate, schools like ours demonstrate a dedication to promoting healthier food options and supporting Texas farmers.

Each year, the Challenge provides opportunities to engage students, staff, and the broader community in meaningful conversations about where food comes from and why eating local is beneficial. Participants who meet and exceed the Challenge’s goals earn recognition from TDA, and this year, Fort Bend ISD’s efforts were celebrated at the highest level with the Cream of the Crop award.

A New Tier for Excellence. This year’s Challenge introduced an exciting third tier to recognize participants who consistently go above and beyond. Fort Bend ISD rose to the occasion, setting a new standard for excellence. From creatively incorporating local produce into our menus to hosting engaging nutrition education activities, our school nutrition team showcased innovation and dedication every step of the way.

Looking ahead, we encourage everyone to join us in supporting the Farm Fresh Challenge. Whether it’s by exploring the benefits of eating local, participating in educational activities, or simply sharing the message on social media, there are many ways to get involved.
