The Child Nutrition Team will be putting a spotlight on school breakfast by encouraging all students to participate in the EWSD Breakfast Participation Challenge for the entire month of March. The rules of the challenge are simple - start each day by accessing FREE school breakfast! The school that increases their breakfast participation the most, by the end of the month, will win an all school recognition prize. Only one breakfast per student will be counted, so make sure to encourage your students who don’t typically eat breakfast to access it! 🍌🍊🥯🥞
School resumes tomorrow, March 6th. Tomorrow is an A day.
