This year’s theme for National School Breakfast Week, March 2-6, 2020, is “Out of This World” to encourage families to choose breakfast at school. Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. However, USDA data show that more and more students are starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in their school. The USDA School Breakfast Program currently serves more than 14 million students every day. Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:

• Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
• Score higher on standardized tests
• Have better concentration and memory
• Be more alert
• Maintain a healthy weight

School nutrition professionals and students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 2-6 as schools nationwide celebrate with special menus, cafeteria events, and more. The School Nutrition Association (SNA) offers numerous resources on their website, including toolkits and handouts, PowerPoint presentations, activity sheets, and marketing and PR materials.
