Please help by adding to this list.
What I'm after is a list of events/lessons where food is used in schools -- OTHER than reg scheduled Bfast/Lunch served by cafeteria.
Below is what I've come up with off the top of my head.
PLEASE add to this list as to events you've encountered in your school -- public or private school -- where food has been used.
THANKS! Project related to this in the works.
(I kind of went in order of school year . . . for those with traditional school calendar)
Code:
"Back to School" party
Johnny Appleseed
Halloween
Pumpkin Day
Thanksgiving
Fall Harvest
Christmas
Hanukah
Eid
Kwanzaa
Martin Luther King Day
Pres Inaugural Day
Superbowl
Valentine's Day
President's Day
St. Patrick's Day
Easter
Bunny Day
Spring
May Day
Mother's Day
Flag Day
End of School
Other:
Each child's birthday party
Teacher's birthday party
Student Star of the Week (weekly party)
End of Quarter/Unit parties
Cafeteria Behavior Reward Parties
Movie Days
Regular In-class rewards (candy)
100th Day
Dr. Seuss celebration
Class Play (cast party -- no, not making this one up)
Rewards for collecting the most ______ (donations, typically)
Jump Rope for Heart party
Fall Festival
Spring Festival
Academic "Field Day"
Physical Fitness "Field Day"
Presidential Fitness "testing" days
Long-term substitute teacher -- "you were so good for me" party
Lessons:
Math -- using candy to count
Again, thanks for suggestions and additions.
This comprehensive list will be very helpful to open eyes, is my hope. It illustrates the extreme use of food in schools, all directions, and can serve as a starting point to begin to REDUCE this practice and eventually eliminate.

Science
eggshells used as 'selectively permeable membranes.'
ALSO used to 'grow crystals' (to produce a geode-like model)
used as 'green' planting containers
Whole eggs used as 'test subjects' for a variety of purposes (often engineering related.... but occasionally for 'take care of a baby' weeks, too....)
*&%^$ peanut-butter birdfeeders... or peanut-suet birdfeeders...
Science using recycled food containers, food waste, or samples for examination with hand lenses/microscopes.
Classroom pet foods.
ART
Macaroni projects
Seed mosaics
Eggshell mosaics
Egg dying/decorating...
Cooking in class (whole other category, this one.... UGH.)

My daughter's school has frequent pizza and ice cream parties.
They took apart tomatoes and something else (cucumbers?) to see how many seeds were inside.
They used dried beans as counters.
Did M & M math.
