The Dooly County School System celebrated National School Lunch Week recently. Dr. Sherrod Willaford, Interim Superintendent and Mrs. Holly Black, Curriculum Director and other faculty and staff joined the Nutrition Program staff to serve students lunch for a day. Some of the greatest highlights of the day included being able to see each student and lending support to our hard working school nutrition team who provide the best and most nutritious meals to our students and staff. Congress adopted National School Lunch Week over 60 years ago, and the Level Up theme this year highlights how the school lunch program has been a "game changer" for students and their families. Dooly County School System Nutrition Program - we salute you and appreciate all that you do! #ThisisDooly! #IamDooly! #WeareDooly!
