This week we are celebrating National School Breakfast Week, and our amazing School Nutrition staff dressed up and had some fun while reminding students that breakfast is the most important quest of the day!

Our team is suited to conquer the quest for school breakfast and encourage students to start their day with a healthy, nutritious meal that fuels their minds and bodies for learning. From whole grains and fresh fruit to protein-packed options, our breakfast helps students power up for the school day ahead!

A huge thank you to our incredible School Nutrition team who work hard every morning to make sure students are ready to succeed. We appreciate everything you do for our schools and our students! 💛

Don’t forget — school breakfast is available every morning! Join us and start your day the right way.
