National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) celebrates the importance of a nutritious school breakfast in fueling students for success. This special observance during the first week of March celebrates the national School Breakfast Program and the many ways it gives kids a great start every day.
In a nationwide effort to promote the importance of a balanced breakfast in fueling young minds, schools from all over are shining a spotlight on the critical role that breakfast plays in supporting academic success and overall well-being among students.
This year's campaign, themed "Surfs Up With School Breakfast,” aims to energize students for success by highlighting the benefits of a nutritious morning meal. From improved academic performance to better attendance and behavior, the advantages of starting the day with a balanced breakfast are well-documented.
National School Breakfast Week serves as a rallying cry to ensure that every child has access to this essential fuel for learning.
National School Breakfast Week is not only a time for celebration but also a call to action for communities, policymakers, and educators to prioritize breakfast as a fundamental part of the school day. By investing in robust breakfast programs and removing stigma associated with breakfast participation, schools can create a culture where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
As we come together to celebrate National School Breakfast Week, let us recommit ourselves to ensuring that every student has the nourishment they need to reach their full potential. By fueling young minds today, we are laying the foundation for a healthier, more prosperous future for generations to come.
