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!
National School Breakfast Week
National School Breakfast Week
We had pop up events all around the district. Here is our team at Orchard Hills

We made omelets made to order at both our middle school and high school! We are definitely going to have to run this again at the middle school! Numbers were off the charts!

Meadows Holi Festival
Global
A small taste of India
Rasmalai Panckaes
We shared rasmalai pancakes which is a soft lightly sweet pancake with flavors of cardamom topped with a sweetened milk syrup with a pinch of saffron
Celebration of the Holi holiday
Students had a choice of the sweet milk syrup and fresh strawberries
Parkview Mood Boost
Mood Boost
We went to Parkview elementary and shared Korean style spinach. Spinach is high in iron that supports heart health by lowering blood pressure and makes you calm!
Chef Mia
Chef Mia getting the aromatics out there for the student to smell!
Korean style spinach
Fresh spinach sauteed with garlic, scallions, crushed red pepper flakes and with a touch of low sodium soy sauce! YUM!
Farmers Market at Novi Middle School Students
Students used their Wildcat Bucks to purchase fresh produce while enjoying cider and donuts! We also served up "Global Eats" Elote — Mexican Street Corn — adding a delicious international twist to the day. The event featured cornhole, Jenga, and live music, making it a fun and festive experience for everyone!
