Nutrition is an important part of the education process – the people who serve breakfast and lunch at schools in South Dakota provide the fuel necessary to ensure that your students have the energy to do the work of learning. School Lunch Hero Day was established to celebrate the contributions of those who provide food for students. This year, the day falls on May 3, 2024. Thanks to our amazing kitchen staff and custodial crew of Jessie, Summer, Ashley, Pam, Janae, Ivana, and Tony. We appreciate all you do.

Thank you to everyone who donated yesterday! We had a lot of first timers and familiar faces. All together 35 units of blood were collected. We are proud of the contributions of our students and the Menno community!
