With hectic mornings, your child has healthy breakfast options available at school! Keep an eye out for some of our most popular breakfast items this week as well as a couple of new items. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in activities and receiving giveaways during breakfast this week. March is National Nutrition Month. We take the time to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits during this month. There is a wide variety of options offered for school breakfast and lunch. Check out http://hssdwi.nutrislice.com/ for healthy offerings, theme menus, and giveaways! Music Notes
