Breakfast/Lunch Promotions
Breakfast and Lunch Week Promotions provide the opportunity for us to promote the benefits of eating school lunch/breakfast to students and their families.Studies show that children who eat breakfast score better on standardized tests, have fewer health issues, and behave better in class (School Nutrition Association). According to the 1999 California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Survey, “On average, children who ate school breakfast consumed over one serving more fruits and vegetables (4.3 vs. 3.0 servings; p<.001) and those eating school lunch had over one-half of a serving more (3.4 vs. 2.8 servings; p<.001) compared with children not receiving that school meal (California Department of Health Services and Public Health Institute).
During their respective weeks each year, lunch/breakfast week promotions are promoted in many of our school partners.
