🌞 Sun Meals To Go is Back! 🍎 We’re excited to announce that the Smithville ISD Summer Meal Program, Sun Meals To Go, is returning this summer! Candy Biehle, Director of Child Nutrition, shared the great news with the Smithville Noon Lions Club earlier today. This FREE program is open to ALL children 18 and under — not just Smithville ISD students. Whether your child attends another district, is homeschooled, or just visiting for the summer, they are welcome! 📦 Meals will be distributed twice a week at four convenient locations, and we’re adding a new evening pickup option this year to make it even easier for families. Each child will receive 7 days’ worth of meals to help ensure no child goes hungry.

🔥 The heat is on in our Culinary classroom! 🔥 Our talented students have been slicing, dicing, sautéing, and perfecting their dishes as they prepare for tomorrow's big cooking competition at the prestigious Escoffier Culinary School in Austin! 🧑‍🍳👩‍🍳 From signature sauces to showstopping presentations, they're bringing their A-game and a whole lot of flavor. 💥🍽️ We’re so proud of their hard work, passion, and creativity—and we know they’re going to crush it! 💪✨ Good luck, chefs-in-the-making—go make us proud! 🎉👏 #FutureChefs #CulinaryChampions #EscoffierBound #CookingUpSuccess

Guess who hopped by the cafeteria today? The Easter Bunny made a special appearance during lunch for our amazing 4th and 5th graders and kitchen staff! With a basket full of springtime cheer, our furry friend brought smiles, high-fives, and a touch of Easter magic to the lunchroom. Students couldn't believe their eyes when the Easter Bunny appeared between the lunch tables, pausing for photos and sharing celebratory moments with everyone! From our school family to yours, we wish you a HOPPY EASTER filled with joy, chocolate, and wonderful memories! May your holiday weekend be as bright and colorful as a basket of Easter eggs! 🐰🌷🥚

Our Main Cafeteria is buzzing with excitement as students eagerly clean their plates and share laughs over their favorite foods. The real star of the show? The new "Berry Banana Bliss" dessert that has everyone talking! This simple yet delicious treat combines sweet banana slices, creamy yogurt, light whipped cream, and fresh strawberries into a parfait that's both nutritious and feels like a special indulgence. "It tastes like ice cream but it's actually good for us!" says one happy second-grader between spoonfuls. Who knew school lunch could bring so many smiles? Nutrition never tasted so good!

Big thanks to Land O’Lakes and their amazing IdeaNation team for visiting our campus! 🌟 We were thrilled to host not only our own Child Nutrition department, but also teams from other districts and a representative from Region 13. It was an inspiring day filled with fresh ideas and flavor! Chef Suzie wowed us with a variety of delicious food samples—each one more creative than the last. From bold new takes on classic favorites to inventive spins on something as simple as a grilled cheese, the day left us energized and full of new ideas to bring back to our menus. We love opportunities like this to grow, share, and serve our students even better. 🍽️💡 Thank you again, Land O’Lakes IdeaNation, for the inspiration and innovation! #SchoolNutrition #CreativeMenus #IdeaNation #LandOLakes #FuelingYoungMinds #Region13
