National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) celebrates the importance of a nutritious school breakfast in fueling students for success. This year’s theme, “Score Big with School Breakfast,” reminds parents that a healthy school breakfast helps students achieve academic success in school so they can “score big” and reach their goals.
Right now, all school breakfast meals are free for any students K-12 thanks to a USDA fee waiver.
Studies show that children 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 and maintain a healthy weight
Thanks to everyone in Nutrition Services for making mornings so bright for students throughout Jordan School District.
