“Digging for School Breakfast”
Winfield City Elementary School celebrated National School Breakfast this week.
At Winfield City Schools, we believe in starting the day off right—and that includes a
nutritious breakfast for all students. By celebrating National School Breakfast Week
(NSBW) every year, we’re encouraging all schools to recognize the importance of a
healthy start to the day for fueling a child’s academic success.
Did you know children who eat 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 and maintain a healthy weight
But when the school week gets busy, it’s easy for students to rush out the door in the
morning without having a nutritious meal. That’s why school breakfast is such a great
option! In fact, students who participate in school breakfast tend to have better
attendance rates and fewer behavioral problems.
The School Breakfast Program provides 12 million nutritious breakfasts to hungry
children across the country every day. These breakfasts tend to be more nutritious than
the average breakfast a child gets from home or a convenient fast-food restaurant.
Winfield City Schools will be celebrating National School Breakfast Week, March 6 th –
10 th . Please encourage your student to eat with us.
We will be having promotions in each school lunchroom for breakfast next week.
March 6 th – Winfield Middle School - Pirate Frisbees
March 7 th – Winfield Elementary School – Construction Hard Hats
March 8 th – Winfield High School – Pirate Frisbees
*This will be first come first serve.
