Do you and your kids eat breakfast?NSBW Monday FB Insta (1)

Research shows that when kids have a nutritious breakfast, they do better academically and have less risk of obesity-related diseases.

Unfortunately, about half of low-income students don’t eat breakfast, a recent study shows.

For National School Breakfast Week (March 7-11), we at Salud America! (@SaludToday on social media) are using social media to promote healthy breakfast at school and at home for Latino and all kids.

We invite you to snap a picture of you and/or your child having breakfast at home or at school and share it using #SaludNSBW / #NSBW16 on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for your chance to win a T-shirt and jump rope!

Salud America!, a Latino childhood obesity network funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and led by Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez of the Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, is partnering on the campaign with the School Nutrition Association, Kids.gov, Dr. Jesus Rodriguez of Kaiser Permanente, the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, and Chef Johnny Hernandez.

Let the healthy breakfast selfies begin!
