Domino's has joined up with schools across the nation for National School Lunch week October 13 to October 17, 2014, the company announced.
The company's Domino's Smart Slice school lunch program will offer educational bookmarks featuring nutritional facts on whole grains, dairy, and protein and highlighting the importance of physical activity. Participating schools can distribute the bookmarks during National School Lunch Week to students.
"Domino’s Smart Slice is a terrific program that allows a Domino's store to be a key part of its local community by serving students within its neighborhood," said Chris Brandon, Domino's Pizza spokesperson, in a company announcement. "Domino's is proud it can utilize the program this week to share healthy lifestyle facts, as well as further connect our local business owners with communities, schools and families.”
Domino's Smart Slice pizza "meets the USDA school lunch nutrition standards," the company said, and is distributed to more than 3,900 schools in the country. Smart Slice is made of lite mozzarella cheese, whole-wheat crust and low-fat and low-sodium pepperoni and sauce.
