Celebrating National Breakfast Week at North Park
The week of March 8th - March 12th, we celebrated National School Breakfast Week here at North Park. This celebration is put on by the School Nutrition Association and they put it on to "celebrate the importance of nutritious school breakfast in fueling students for success. This year’s theme, "Score Big with School Breakfast," reminds parents and stakeholders that a healthy school breakfast helps ensure students’ academic success in school so they can “score big” and reach their goals."
