Next Monday, March 4th through Friday, March 8th is National School Breakfast Week (NSBW)! NSBW began in 1989 to raise awareness about the School Breakfast Program offered in many schools.
We know you are cooking up lots of yummy breakfast items for students in your cafeterias. Head on over to schoolnutrition.org to check out the great resources that the School Nutrition Association (SNA) offers to make this year’s NSBW the best one ever! A few of our favorites include:
