What's better than a gooey s'mores on a nice Fall 🍁 day? Second grade students at Alexander Wilson are learning about how the sun ☀️ provides a source of light that warms the land, air, and water. They put that idea to the test by cooking s’mores in solar ovens.

A bit of history about National School Lunch Week (NSLW): President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. The National School Lunch Program serves nearly 30 million children every school day. #NSLW22
