It’s time to celebrate national school breakfast week

Dallas ISD’s Food and Child Nutrition Services is preparing to celebrate National School Breakfast Week March 3-7. This year’s theme, “Clue In to School Breakfast,” encourages students to start their day with a healthy breakfast.  

“We want every student to walk into the classroom feeling nourished, energized, and ready to succeed,” said Debi Rowley, executive director of FCNS. “School breakfast isn’t just about feeding kids—it’s about giving them the fuel they need to think, learn, and grow.” 

Throughout the week, cafeterias will feature special menu items, including a mini parfait on March 4 and brunch for lunch on March 6. Schools will also receive posters, promotional items, and themed attire activities opportunities to engage students and staff.  

Food and Child Nutrition Services invites elementary and middle school students to submit their artwork displaying the importance of a healthy breakfast. For more details and submission guidelines, please visit NSBW Contest Entry Forms 

Winning entries will receive prizes and will be featured in the FCNS newsletter and will be displayed in school cafeterias and at the Maria Luna Food Services building.
