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!

Farmers Market at Novi Middle School Students
Students used their Wildcat Bucks to purchase fresh produce while enjoying cider and donuts!
