The Quest for School Breakfast
National School Breakfast Week Campaign Encourages Students to Try School Breakfast
To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Camden County Schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) from March 2-6, 2026.
Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, Camden County 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.
The 2026 NSBW campaign theme, “The Quest For School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy and energizing start to the day for students. 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
School nutrition professionals and students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for school breakfast from March 2-6 as the district celebrates NSBW with special menus, activities, and more.
“A healthy breakfast at the start of the day is a great way to ensure students are nourished and ready to learn,” said Andrea Lee, Child Nutrition Director. “National School Breakfast Week helps us educate parents and students about all the nutritious and delicious choices we offer.”

About National School Breakfast Week
