National School Breakfast Week 2025 Celebrated at Upper Sandusky Schools! To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Upper Sandusky schools will celebrate National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) during March 3-7, 2025. Students will "Clue In" to a tasty and nutritious breakfast and have a chance to win daily prizes! The 2025 NSBW campaign theme, “Clue In to School Breakfast,” reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy and energizing start to the day for students. A healthy breakfast at the start of the day is a great way to ensure students are nourished and ready to learn. National School Breakfast Week helps to educate parents and students about all the nutritious and delicious choices offered.

Please be sure to forget everything about this flier and email. The parent team at Union is absolutely not sponsoring another pie a teacher (or principal) in the face fundraiser. Two of your principals have beards and one has very long hair which makes cleaning pie from it very difficult. Please do not vote for your favorite teacher to be pied. Also, be sure that your class does not have 100% participation so that principals are pied. Also please forget that money is being collected on 2/28 & 3/7 after lunch in the Auditorium. Sincerely, Dr. Watson, Mrs. Parrot & Mr. Dible
