Last week was National School Breakfast Week, and students at McNary Heights Elementary celebrated in a variety of ways! This year’s theme was “The Quest for School Breakfast.” Students dressed as knights on their quest and participated in a taste test, trying a breakfast item—overnight oatmeal.

La semana pasada fue la Semana Nacional del Desayuno Escolar, y los estudiantes de McNary Heights Elementary lo celebraron de diferentes maneras. El tema de este año fue “En busca del desayuno escolar.” Los estudiantes se disfrazaron de caballeros en su búsqueda y participaron en una prueba de sabor, donde probaron un desayuno: avena preparada durante la noche.
