During National School Breakfast Week, the Power Panther was at Edmunds Elementary to drive home the point. His shirt says it all: EAT SMART! PLAY HARD! While at Edmunds, he was busy handing out hugs, high fives and stickers reading LAUNCH YOUR DAY WITH BREAKFAST as kids make their way through the food line before school. During his visit, a hot new item was introduced, courtesy of DMPS Food & Nutrition Chef Chad Taylor. Egg-a-Doodle-Doo, a “savory egg and cheese muffin” could become a popular choice now that it’s available. Students had rave reviews for the new food choice!

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students have been trying many new things for breakfast! We have had more students taking breakfast in the morning and Breakfast in the Classroom is working extremely well.
