Get ready to fuel your legendary quest! From March 2–5, 2026, we are celebrating National School Breakfast Week across the district to highlight how a nutritious morning meal prepares students to succeed. Throughout the week, students can participate in our "EAT TO WIN" contest, every time a student eats a complete school meal, they earn one entry into the drawing. Remember, breakfast is always free for all students, making it the perfect time to explore our new menu items.

  • Monday, March 2nd (The Emerald Quest): Wear Green and enjoy a Lucky Charms featured item.
  • Tuesday, March 3rd (Embark on Adventure): Dress like a Tourist, wear tropical prints and your khakis!
