School Breakfast Week
What is School Breakfast Week?
Established in 1989, School Breakfast Week (SBW) celebrates how school breakfasts can prepare students for daily success. By observing this special week every year, we’re encouraging all K-12 schools to recognize the importance of a healthy start to the day with breakfast to fuel children’s academic success.
Today, the School Breakfast Program ensures the health and well-being of all public school students and improves academic performance by giving students the nutrition they need for academic success. It has been shown that a healthy, nutritious breakfast can improve academic performance, and that’s why a healthy meal at the beginning of the day is crucial to growing children.
During this weeklong celebration, Dallas ISD Food and Child Nutrition Services will celebrate with special menus, events, activities, and much more, with the goal of encouraging students to eat a healthy breakfast at school.
School Activities
During National School Breakfast Week, March 2–6, 2026, Dallas ISD invites elementary, middle, and high school students to participate in The Quest for School Breakfast Art Contest. Students are encouraged to creatively illustrate the importance of a nutritious breakfast as part of their daily journey to success. Winning artwork will be displayed in school cafeterias and featured in the FCNS newsletter and at the Maria Luna Facility. This initiative engages students in understanding the value of healthy morning meals while celebrating their creativity and artistic talents.
