Quick and Healthy Meals for National Breakfast Week
Healthy School Breakfast Awareness Week March 4-8th
It’s National School Breakfast Week. This is a week where schools across the nation promote healthy options to kids. The week also highlights how import breakfast is to start off our kids day.
Through social media, newsletters and various other channels, parents are encouraged to learn more about their local school nutrition program and initiatives in schools to help children make healthy choices.
Students who eat breakfast have better attention and memory and the quality of foods children eat impacts brain function—with poor nutrition linked with absenteeism, hunger symptoms, and psychosocial problems. We’ve got some fun ideas to get students excited about a healthy breakfast.
