Into the Woods is a musical intertwining Brothers Grimm fairy tales, focusing on a childless Baker and his Wife who attempt to break a Witch's curse by collecting magical items from Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel. Act I follows their success and "happily ever after," while Act II explores the dark consequences of their actions when a vengeful Giant threatens the kingdom, forcing them to take responsibility.

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.

Whether you need a hot meal, healthcare resources, or just want to see what local support is available, all are welcome! This is about providing food, resources, and care for everyone in our community.
