National School Breakfast Week is March 6-10
Dig in to School Breakfast
Celebrate National School Breakfast Week with special menus each morning to BUILD a great FOUNDATION for your day!
Our goal for the week is to promote school breakfast as a nutritious & healthy way for students to build their day and increase the student participation! The average number of students served, district wide, is 688 students per day. We'd love to serve more students, especially since breakfast is free for all students!
PTO Read-A-Thon
March is Reading Month. Read-A-Thon makes it easy, fun, and rewarding to practice reading at home and at school. Friends and family support your child's reading efforts by making a donation to their personal Read-A-Thon page. Students earn prizes for themselves AND their classroom and school!
