April is Global Child Nutrition Month, and we want to do our part in sharing nutrition tips with our Downey Unified community so we can all work together to teach our students healthy habits that set them up for success as they grow.

March is National Nutrition Month®, and we’re recognizing it by sharing some nutrition tips and resources for our DUSD families!

In February, we celebrate all things to do with the heart, from Valentine’s Day to American Heart Month. American Heart Month encourages us to think about our cardiovascular well-being and to make healthier choices.

This January, we’re celebrating the many benefits of milk and how it, and dairy overall, helps keep our bodies strong.

Food Services is working on developing plant-based veggie bowls for our secondary students.

As we begin the new school year, you may notice that we have a new type of pizza in our lunch rooms, and it’s supplied by Pizza Hut!

Downey Unified will be participating in the Seamless Summer Food Service Program, providing breakfast and lunch at no cost to ALL children ages 18 and younger during the summer school session.

Last week was School Lunch Hero Day, and we’re so appreciative of everyone who took a moment to appreciate our Food Services team members.
