STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS • Thursday • March 2, 2017 www.shs.searcyschools.org
NATIONAL BREAKFAST WEEK: “Our school district will be celebrating National School Breakfast Week all next week, March 6-10, and our cafeteria staff invites you to “Take the School Breakfast Challenge” with them! For each day that you eat school breakfast in the cafeteria next week, your name will be entered into a BIG prize drawing for an iPad Mini to be given away at your school at the end of the week! That means, if you eat breakfast at school ONE time next week, your name goes in the drawing once, but if you eat EVERY day, your name will go in the drawing FIVE times, increasing your chances of winning! Also, we will have special small surprises to give away every day to every student, so plan on trying out school breakfast next week! Breakfast service starts at 7:30 each day.”
