USDA Lunch Trail Blazer Award

We are proud to announce that the Novi Community School District has received a Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Award!

This prestigious award honors our efforts to enhance the nutritional quality of school meals across our district.

Through thoughtful changes—including the introduction of new, healthier menu items, a reduction in sodium levels, and an increase in flavor using fresh herbs and spices, we’ve made our meals both nutritious and delicious. We’ve also strengthened student engagement and expanded our nutrition education efforts to support lifelong healthy habits.

Thank you to our dedicated staff, students, and community for making this achievement possible!

Deerfield

Eveanna and Juyun truly are a dynamic duo. They consistently move students through the line with efficiency and genuine warmth, balancing speed with a positive, welcoming presence. That combination is not easy to sustain during high-volume service, and they make it look seamless.

Novi High School

Kimberley truly loves our students and knows so many of them by name—which is impressive in a school our size.

This year, she has stretched herself by learning new positions and stepping in to help Julia at stations when we’re short-staffed. Her growth, flexibility, and team-first attitude make a real difference.
