Better Breakfast Month: Start Your Day the Nutritious Way!

September is Better Breakfast Month, and we're celebrating by spotlighting the power of a healthy morning meal! At Fort Bend ISD, we believe that breakfast is more than just the first meal of the day. It's the fuel that powers learning, focus, and energy.

Our School Breakfast Program is designed to give students a nutritious, balanced start with options that are both delicious and packed with essential nutrients. From whole grains and lean proteins to fresh fruits and dairy, every breakfast is built to support growing minds and bodies. 

Why Breakfast Matters:

• Boosts brain power and concentration
• Improves energy levels and physical performance
• Supports emotions, well-being and mood
• Enhances academic success

What's on the Menu?

• Yogurt and Mixed Berry Parfait (9/4 & 9/25)
• Very Strawberry Smoothie (9/9)
• 2024-2025 CTE Chopped Winning Recipe — Turkey Chorizo and Potato Taco (9/18)
• Tropical Dream Smoothie (9/23)

Let's make this month a celebration of healthy habits! Encourage your students to start their day the nutritious way with a school breakfast that sets them up for success.

One Application Can Make A Difference

Families can now apply online at www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd or through the SchoolCafé app. We encourage every family to apply. Your application helps support both your student and our school community.

Why Apply?

Even if your child doesn't eat school meals every day, submitting a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application helps your school in BIG ways, such as:

• Reduced fees for academic testing and extracurricular activities
• Discount on internet services
• Reduced registration fees for academic tests

So even if you're not sure if you qualify, applying helps your child's school serve all students better. One application makes a BIG difference!

What's New This Year?

This school year, students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals will receive both breakfast and lunch for FREE every day. We encourage families to take advantage of this benefit. Who knows, you may qualify!

CEP Campuses

If your student is enrolled at one of the Fort Bend ISD Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) campuses, they will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch daily. Families will not have to complete an application. However, we ask all CEP families to complete the Income Survey at www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd. This helps ensure our schools continue receiving the funding and support our students deserve.

Completing the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application and Income Survey is a simple step that can make a BIG difference.
