To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Anthony Wayne Local Schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) during March 6-10, 2023. The NSBW campaign theme, “DIG IN to School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that healthy breakfast options available at school provide an energizing start to the day for students.

U.S. Department of Agriculture data show that more and more students are starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in their school cafeterias. The School Breakfast Program serves more than 14 million students every day.

Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, Anthony Wayne schools offer nutritious school breakfasts, complete with fruit and low-fat or fat-free milk, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day. 

Students can purchase breakfast before school at the following times and locations

Primary Buildings8:30 - 8:45 a.m.Cafeteria
Fallen Timbers Middle School7:15 - 7:35 a.m.Cafeteria
Anthony Wayne Junior High7:15 - 7:45 a.m.Cart in Main Hallway
Anthony Wayne High School7:15 - 7:45 a.m.Cart in Main Hallway
 

Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:

  • Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
  • Score higher on standardized tests
  • Have better concentration and memory
  • Be more alert
  • Maintain a healthy weight
Staff and students are encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 6-10 as the district celebrates NSBW with special menus, activities, and more. 

If you have questions about school breakfast or other Food Services offerings, please contact Megan Menchaca, Food Services Director.
