Each March, National School Breakfast Week highlights the vital role of a healthy morning meal in supporting academic success. Through the School Breakfast Program, 12 million children receive nutritious breakfasts daily, often healthier than those from home or fast-food options.

WHY DOES BREAKFAST MATTER?

Students who eat breakfast are more likely to:

• Achieve higher scores in reading and math
• Score better on standardized tests
• Stay focused and remember more
• Stay alert and maintain a healthy weight

Busy mornings often mean kids rushing out the door without eating. That’s where school breakfast comes in! It’s convenient, nutritious, and proven to make a difference. Students who participate in school breakfast programs often have better attendance and fewer behavioral issues. So, let’s make every morning count. Because when students start the day fueled and ready, they’re unstoppable! Be sure to get your school orders in for this year's National School Breakfast Week, March 2–6.
