School breakfast program
​
​
​
​
Mukilteo School District offers free breakfast daily for all students. There are several benefits to starting out the day with a healthy breakfast:

  • Breakfast helps children pay attention, perform problem-solving tasks, and improves memory.
  • Eating breakfast as a child is important for establishing healthy habits for later in life.
  • School breakfast provides daily servings of fruit, whole grains, and milk, plus roughly ΒΌ the recommended calories needed for lasting energy.

Find out your student's breakfast meal time, menu and more on the School Breakfast Program Nutrition webpage.Β

​
Over 400 fifth graders from across the district are signed up to participate in the band and orchestra programs, the highest participation yet!

More than 200 of the students will use an instrument provided by the district. However, due to the record participation this year, the program is completely out of full-size violins and percussion sets. If you have a new or gently used violin or percussion set you are willing to donate, please email Judy Heminger atΒ hemingerjl@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

The band and orchestra programs are always accepting donations of new or gently used instruments, so please help us spread the word to your friends and family!Β Β
