School Breakfast in Montana

Plan to participate in
National School Breakfast Week
March 5-9, 2018

Why Participate?

According to a survey of School Nutrition Association (SNA) members, 96% said that their student participation increases during Nation School Breakfast Week (NSBW). Recognizing NSBW in your cafeteria helps you:

Increase student participation for your program
Spread the message to parents that you’re serving healthy and tasty breakfast at school
Earn media coverage from local papers, blogs, and TV stations
Connect with teachers and administrators at your school or in your district to spread the word that school meals are healthy

Need Ideas?

Invite a local “celebrity” to eat breakfast with students. Think athletes in uniform, businessperson, local news anchor, team mascot, etc.

Organize a “Create an Ad for School Breakfast” art contest at your school.

Make over your menus! If you don’t have time to develop a special, new menu for NSBW, just re-name some of your breakfast menu staples to embrace the “Wake Up” theme. For example – a sausage biscuit can be a “Sunrise Sausage Biscuit.” You can use words like energize, dawn, morning, stretch, etc.

Use the coloring sheets to engage students during the morning meal time. Post these around your dining space to get everyone involved.
