Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, Tyler County Schools nutrition professionals have a lot on their plate. To celebrate their hard work and commitment, Tyler County Schools will celebrate School Lunch Hero Day on May 1. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series. School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.
All across the school district, school nutrition professionals will be honored and recognized by students, school staff, parents, and the community.
“School nutrition employees must balance many roles and follow numerous federal, state and local regulations to ensure safe and healthy meals are available in schools. School Lunch Hero Day provides the opportunity for the community to thank these hardworking heroes for their dedication to fueling our students for success,” said Mrs. Amanda Kimble, TCS Director of Child Nutrition, Support Services and Safety.
Federal nutrition standards ensure that school cafeterias always offer low-fat or fat-free milk, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. School meals also meet limits on calories, sodium and unhealthy fats. The importance and nutritional value of school meals are well documented. For many children, school lunch is the most important and nutrient-rich meal of their day.

The award-winning Tyler Consolidated Band program has not achieved success by accident. Hard work, talent, and dedication are elements of the band program's Foundation in Excellence. Additionally, the band program could not operate at the level they do without levy funding.
Mya Fetty, 2025-2026 TCHS Field Commander, shines a light on how levy money directly supports students in the TC Band program in this week's episode of Foundations in Excellence.

Tyler County taxpayers have supported the excess levy since 1949, which in turn has helped Tyler County Schools become one of the best school districts in the state.
The levy supports our students are supported with instructional materials, library & media services, instructional technology, transportation, and curricular & extracurricular activities because of the levy.
This week's episode of "Foundations in Excellence" showcases the TCHS FBLA Chapter, which benefits from levy funds in a variety of ways. Their story is just one of hundreds that showcase the way that the excess levy provides a solid foundation for our students.
