A HUGE thank you to Susan from @Cinnaholic giving the district office some seriously delicious cinnamon rolls! Our team had a cinn-fully good time indulging in these treats.
Now we’re wondering... do cinnamon rolls count as brain food? Because we're feeling extra smart and sweet today!
Thanks, Susan, for making our day so much sweeter! #SweetSupport #GretnaGreats #GretnaPublicSchools

Ahoy, Mateys! It’s National School Lunch Week!
We celebrated with the theme "School Lunch Pirates: Find Your Treasure!" 🏴☠️ Our amazing Food and Nutrition teams showed their school spirit in new pirate-themed shirts, thanks to a manager who went the extra mile to make the week special.
It was a fun-filled week, and GPS, along with our students, want to thank FANS for taking us on this high-seas adventure of good nutrition, where we discovered treasure in every healthy meal!
