It’s Time to Try School Breakfast
National School Breakfast Week promotes the Benefits of School Breakfast for Busy Families
March 3-7, 2014
Rockwall, Texas – The majority of Americans feel breakfast is important, but hectic mornings make it difficult to fit the meal in every day. In fact, 40 percent of moms say that their child does not eat breakfast daily, according to Kellogg’s Breakfast in America survey. To garner increased participation in the School Breakfast Program, Rockwall ISD school cafeterias will recognize National School Breakfast Week. Slated for March 3-7 2014, National School Breakfast Week is a weeklong celebration aimed at increasing awareness of the School Breakfast Program among students and parents.
The 2014 National School Breakfast Week theme, “Take Time for School Breakfast” encourages parents to consider the school breakfast program as a time-saving option for those busy mornings. The theme will appear in school cafeterias during National School Breakfast Week, March 3-7, 2014.
Every school day, Rockwall ISD’s breakfast program offers students a healthy breakfast that they need to get set for a busy school day. You can visit our district website rockwallisd.com for menus. The cost for breakfast is $1.25 and $.30 for reduced price and $1.50 for adult breakfast. Please check with your child’s school for breakfast times. Every school breakfast served meets Federal Nutrition Standards limiting fat, calories, sodium.
“Take Time for School Breakfast” was created by the non-profit School Nutrition Association with support from Kellogg’s Foodservice. Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, National School Breakfast Week was launched in 1989 to raise awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program (SBP) to all children and to promote the links between eating a good breakfast, academic achievement and healthy lifestyles.
