National School Breakfast Week (March 4-8)

Surf’s Up with School Breakfast

To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Alice ISD schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) from March 4-8, 2024. Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, Alice ISD schools offer nutritious school breakfasts, complete with fruit and low-fat or fat-free milk, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day.

School nutrition professionals and students will be encouraged to show enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 4-8 as the district celebrates NSBW with special menus. Alice ISD meal serving lines will be decorated in a “Surfs Up with School Breakfast” theme along with Food Service Workers joining in on the fun by wearing themed shirts. Plus each day the breakfast menu will be themed!
