Plan Ahead for National School Breakfast Week

Breakfast = Achievement National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) is an annual March tradition, so make sure it's on your promotional agenda for next year. School Nutrition Association's Web site offers a wide variety of promotional ideas and merchandise, always with an upbeat, motivating theme. So, start checking their site early for more information. NSBW offers a tremendous opportunity for exciting breakfast promotion fun. But don't stop there. Make plans to communicate to audiences other than your students about the importance of your existing breakfast program AND the opportunity for "expanding breakfast" outside the cafeteria. Use NSBW as the "hook" to talk to school administration and teachers about Breakfast in the Classroom, Grab-n-Go breakfasts, free breakfast, etc. Get study results and fact sheets in the Expanding Breakfast section of this Web site.
