To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with a school breakfast, Henderson County Schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) from March 4-8, 2024.
The NSBW campaign theme, “Surfs Up with School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy and energizing start to the day for students. Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:
· Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
· Score higher on standardized tests
· Have better concentration and memory
· Be more alert
· Maintain a healthy weight
School nutrition professionals and students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 4-8 as the district celebrates NSBW with special tropical-themed menu items including :
Tropical Banana Split
Toasted coconut
Dutch waffle
Mango
Tropical Parfait
Hawaiian Breakfast Sandwiches
National School Breakfast Week was launched in 1989 to raise awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program, a federally assisted meal program operating in public and non-profit private schools and residential childcare institutions since 1975.
