By 2020, over 1,300 Virginia schools had launched<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bestpractices.nokidhungry.org\/programs\/school-breakfast\/implement-breakfast-after-the-bell\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Breakfast After the Bell<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> programs to make school breakfast even more accessible to students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">March also marks one year since the pandemic outbreak saw schools across Virginia shift to virtual learning, requiring nutrition departments to pivot overnight to serve meals in safe and innovative ways. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although school breakfast may look different during the 2020-2021 school year, nutrition teams across the Commonwealth continue to serve meals to children and teens. This includes delivering meals door-to-door and\/or along bus routes, offering curbside pickup (rain or shine!), and serving meals in the classroom when students are learning in-person.\u00a0 We encourage you to use NSBW as a way to highlight your local Hunger Heroes, who have risked their own health and safety to make certain that students have the fuel they need to succeed, wherever they are learning this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year\u2019s NSBW theme is \u201cScoring Big with School Breakfast.\u201d The School Nutrition Association developed a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/schoolnutrition.org\/uploadedFiles\/2_Meetings_and_Events\/NSBW_2021\/Pages\/NSBW-2021-Toolkit.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">toolkit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for NSBW to illustrate a variety of strategies to engage and educate about the importance of school breakfast. The toolkit includes ideas on leveraging menus, ways to engage parents and the media (within COVID-19 safety protocols), sample motivational messages from respected champions, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This National School Breakfast Week and every week, No Kid Hungry Virginia gives thanks to Virginia\u2019s nutrition teams who work nonstop to nourish our students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Learn More About School Breakfast<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No Kid Hungry is working to connect every kid with school breakfast every day in communities across the U.S. See how breakfast is making a difference at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nokidhungry.org\/what-we-do\/school-breakfast\">NoKidHungry.org\/Breakfast<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Join Team No Kid Hungry<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can help surround kids with healthy food where they live, learn and play.
