Seabrook School Nutrition Team Surprised with a Special Lunch

Seabrook, NH - Brown's Lobster Pound surprised the Seabrook School nutrition team with a special lunch in honor of School Lunch Hero Day. School Lunch Hero Day is celebrated on the first Friday in May to showcase the incredible work school nutrition professionals do in preparing healthy meals for America’s students, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile.

This year, Seabrook School chose to recognize the hard work and dedication of their cafeteria team of seven dedicated workers who work tirelessly to provide breakfast, lunch, and even dinner for their 750 students. The school reached out to a few of their favorite restaurants in town to request a donation of lunch for their cafeteria workers and Brown's Seafood Pound was happy to participate.

"We are so grateful for the donation from Brown's Lobster Pound," said SES Principal, Bryan Belanger. "They have a strong reputation for delicious seafood and they are well-known throughout the community, and we believe that a treat from Brown’s is the perfect way to show our appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our cafeteria team."

Brown's Lobster Pound generously provided a lunch of Lobster Rolls, Clam Chowder, Fries, and Onion Rings for the Seabrook School nutrition team. Lindsay Gaucher, Nutrition Director, and the cafeteria team were truly grateful for the opportunity to enjoy a delicious treat from the restaurant. "We are fortunate to be part of such a strong and close-knit community here in Seabrook. The support and thanks that we receive not just today but every day is amazing. We love feeding our students and staff while having fun too!"

"We are honored to be a part of School Lunch Hero Day and to support the Seabrook School nutrition team," said Bruce Brown II. "We believe in the hard work and dedication of school nutrition professionals and the important role they play in ensuring our children have access to healthy meals. It was our pleasure to provide a special lunch for these heroes."

School Lunch Hero Day is a partnership between the School Nutrition Association and Jarrett J. Krosoczka, of the “Lunch Lady” book series, to remind everyone that school nutrition employees are superheroes that deserve recognition. The day provides the perfect opportunity to recognize the hard-working professionals in school cafeterias.
