School Breakfast Rocks!
 Did you know that 8-12% of all school-aged kids, and as many as 20-30% of teens, skip breakfast? But study after study shows that kids who eat breakfast function better! They do better in school and have better concentration and more energy and are generally in better overall health than those who skip the morning meal. ALL school meals are FREE this year, so there has never been a better time to eat and enjoy school breakfast! Try all the tasty options this March: fruit and yogurt parfaits, whole wheat pancakes, cereal with fresh fruit, and more! From your friends at Cambridge in Motion, a program of the Cambridge Public Health Department, and CPSD Food & Nutrition Services.

Get Creative with Our Nutrition Poster Challenge
CPS Nutrition is looking to collect fun, new, and creative expressions of art to personalize and brighten up the walls of the cafeteria! Our goal is to highlight favorite selections on social media, and enlarge drawings into posters. We're extending this invitation for all Cambridge students (remote, hybrid, in-person) to join in the collection.
Send submissions anytime in March to:
– Cambridge Food Services, 158 Spring St, Cambridge, MA 02141
– Scanned or emailed in color to [email protected]
