Our school will be celebrating National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) from March 4-8, 2024.
Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, MSD of Martinsville schools offer nutritious school breakfasts, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day. Additionally, all student breakfasts are provided at No Cost to all students making it a win-win for families.
During NSBW students will enjoy new breakfast offerings, special giveaways, and a special treat on Friday. Be sure to ask your child about this special event taking place the week of March 4th.
