Week 1 Sept. 26

Morning announcements kicked off the

breakfast challenge. The picture above

is the hallway display! Did you hear the

Robocall announcing the kick off?

During Week 1 of the challenge students eating school breakfast received free sunglasses to

“Stay Cool at School. Eat breakfast!”

Week Two Oct. 5 “Tomorrow’s school breakfast” was announced at the

end of each day this week before dismissal. Students eating breakfast

chose their favorite breakfast entrée’ and received a free pencil for

participating in “Town Creek’s Favorite School Breakfast”. The pencil

reminded them to eat breakfast to fuel the day. A graph was created

and the winning entrée was announced on Friday. It was French Toast

Sticks by one vote!
