The Lanett City Schools Child Nutrition Department is thrilled to welcome back all of our new and returning students, staff, and faculty! Our team has been hard at work getting ready for the new school year, and we can’t wait to see your smiling faces in the cafeteria. We are fully committed to serving up healthy, delicious meals—every meal, every day!
Here is what’s fresh on the menu this year:
🍎 Fresh Fruit & Veggie Boost: W.O. Lance Elementary is expanding fresh produce options through the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program!
👩🍳 More Scratch-Made Meals: Lanett was chosen as one of only six school districts in Alabama to partner with the Chef Ann Foundation! Our staff will be working directly with professional chefs to bring more scratch-cooked recipes to our kitchens district-wide, complete with new grant-funded equipment to make it happen.
🥦 Alabama Farm to School: We're partnering with the AL Department of Agriculture & Industries to bring more locally grown farm-fresh produce to students across the entire district.
☕ MOO-Brew Iced Coffee: Senior high students, get ready! Thanks to a Dairy Alliance Grant, we’re launching a new iced coffee program designed to keep you energized with healthy milk options.
To top it all off, our department passed our recent Alabama State Department of Education routine audit with flying colors—including zero findings for our Summer Feeding Program! 🎉
Huge shoutout to our incredible child nutrition professionals for their hard work and dedication. Let's make it a fantastic year!

The wait is officially over—school starts tomorrow! 🌟
Every student brings their own unique color, talent, and energy to our halls. Together, we are painting a brand-new school year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories. Lanett City Schools just isn't complete without YOU!

The experience began with an informative workforce panel featuring Mrs. Kim Shane of Smurfit Westrock, Mr. Tramontae Jackson of Hi-Lex, Mrs. Maria Coley of Knauf, and Ms. Ansley Emfinger from the Chambers County Development Authority. The panelists shared valuable insights about career opportunities available within our local industries, the skills employers are seeking, and the importance of developing a highly skilled workforce for the future.
Following the panel discussion, participants toured local manufacturing facilities where they observed advanced manufacturing processes, innovative technologies, and workplace operations firsthand. These experiences provided educators with a greater understanding of the knowledge and skills students need to be successful in today's workforce.
By connecting classroom instruction with local business and industry, Lanett City Schools continues to strengthen career awareness and workforce readiness for all students. The insights gained through this experience will help teachers integrate real-world applications into daily instruction, ensuring students are prepared to pursue college, careers, military service, and other postsecondary opportunities.
Lanett City Schools extends its sincere appreciation to the Chambers County Development Authority, Smurfit Westrock, Daedong Hi-Lex, Knauf, Ajin USA, Challenge, and all of our industry partners for investing in our educators and helping us prepare the next generation of leaders.
Together, we are building brighter futures - one classroom, one partnership, and one student at a time.


All summer long, our team has been diving deep into professional development—sharpening their skills, exploring new teaching strategies, and planning exciting lessons to make this school year our best one yet.
Our educators are standard-setters, lifelong learners, and above all, deeply committed to our Panther family! We can’t wait to welcome our students back and see all this hard work come to life. 🖤💛
