Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and schools provide millions of breakfasts to hungry children. Every March, the nation celebrates National School Breakfast Week, which was launched in 1989 to raise awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program to all children. During this special week, schools highlight breakfast programs. 

Whether your student is learning virtually or at school, having a delicious, healthy breakfast is always a priority for us.  Our Grab and Go meal distribution for virtual students is a great way to ensure that your student receives the nutrients they need to promote learning.  Our breakfast meals may include, cereal, cereal bar, muffin, juice, cupped fruit, fresh fruit, granola, animal crackers or graham crackers, and always milk.

During National School Breakfast Week, some schools may see some special breakfast items not ordinarily on the menu.  Some select high schools will have omelet stations prepared by one of our four District chefs. 

Make sure your student joins in the celebration with a delicious, healthy and nutritious breakfast this week!
