This week is national school breakfast week. The theme this year is "Be a Star with School Breakfast"
There are many ways to kick off this week and remind children how important it is to eat breakfast every day.
Have children participate in a contest!
The School Nutrition Association is sponsoring a writing contest.
This year, students will have the opportunity to play a starring role in your NSBW celebration. SNA is encouraging students to answer the following questions:
“If you could enjoy school breakfast with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?”
“What healthy school breakfast food would you want to share with them and why?”
There are specific rules and the deadline is March 31, 2013. Read more about this
