The campaign runs from January, 2010 to March, 2010 and culminates during National School Breakfast Week (NSBW), March 8-12, 2010.
Have Students Enter the Drawing Contest
New this year is a drawing contest, where students answer the question "What does School Breakfast get you ready for?" by completing the blank "School Breakfast - Ready Set Go !" and illustrate their answer on the contest entry form. Be sure to tell classroom teachers about the contest and have them get on board. Each school can submit three entries. Entries must be made through the participating school, and submitted by a school nutrition professional or other school official. Three national winners will receive a prize pack.
