Lexington City Schools Celebrate the North Carolina Crunch!
Last week, Lexington City Schools joined districts across the state for the annual North Carolina Crunch, celebrating local agriculture and healthy eating. Fresh NC-grown apples, delivered by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, were enjoyed by students in classroom tastings, nutrition lessons, and schoolwide “crunch” events.
The event highlighted the importance of supporting North Carolina farmers while bringing students and staff together for a fun, educational experience.

We’re excited to share the latest from our 2025 Summer Feeding Program! On what has been our highest participation day so far, we served 72 meals to children at our community stops—bringing joy, full bellies, and big smiles! Students were especially excited about the popcorn chicken and the chance to hop on the LCS Activity Bus to enjoy their meal in a fun setting.
A special thank you to Rev. Albert Armstrong, who joined us and supported our first stop at Pleasant Village.
Here’s a look at meals served so far through our school-based programs:
Charles England: 122 breakfasts | 142 lunches
Lexington Middle: 97 breakfasts | 127 lunches
Lexington High: 16 breakfasts | 15 lunches
Participation continues to grow, and we’re looking forward to serving even more children in the days ahead. Remember, meals are available to all children 18 and under—no registration or ID required. Meals must be eaten on-site.
For site times, locations, and details, visit www.lexcs.org and follow us on social media @lcsjackets.
