National School Lunch Week 2011 starts on Monday, October 10 until October 14. This year's theme “School Lunch – Let’s Grow Healthy” aims to  help students understand where food comes from while highlighting the overall benefit that school lunch helps kids grow strong and healthy. Organized by School Nutrition Association (SNA), this campaign provides opportunity to try something new and promote locally sourced foods.
For parents who tirelessly pack lunch for their kids, here are some tips to get your kids to eat healthy and more healthy school lunch ideas. If you're part of a school or district that would like to participate, visit the official NSLW website for resources and how to get started.

Here's a video that will show the significant importance of a healthy school lunch for our kids and the benefits that goes along with it, both for the students and the school.
