From cozy winter favorites to fresh spring starts, Chartwells continues to reimagine the school cafeteria experience
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Breakfast is no longer just for mornings! This spring, Chartwells K12 is inviting students to enjoy their favorite breakfast flavors throughout the school day with the launch of Bloom Into Breakfast, a new limited-time campaign running from February 2 through May 1.
Designed to bring variety, familiarity, global flavors, and a fresh seasonal feel to cafeterias, Bloom Into Breakfast highlights student-loved breakfast foods served at both breakfast and lunch. The campaign taps into the growing popularity of breakfast-for-lunchย while giving kids flexible, craveable, and even portable options that fit seamlessly into the school day.
"The researchย and students themselves consistently tell us that breakfast foods are among their favorites, regardless of the time on the clock," said Ashley Kakas, Senior Vice President โ Marketing & Communications, Chartwells K12. "Bloom Into Breakfast builds on that enthusiasm by offering meals that feel comforting, familiar, and fun while adding a bright, spring-inspired energy to the cafeteria."
Rather than limiting breakfast to a single meal period, Bloom Into Breakfast expands how and when students can enjoy those flavors. The campaign features a mix of sweet and savory offerings that feel approachable and satisfying, whether served first thing in the morning or as part of lunch.
Key elements of the campaign include:ย
"Breakfast foods have a unique comfort factor, but they also leave plenty of room for creativity," said Chef Peter Gilhooly, Senior Vice President โ Culinary Services, Chartwells K12. "This campaign lets us take foods students already love and present them in ways that feel new, flexible, and exciting throughout the day."
Bloom Into Breakfast is the latest addition to Chartwells K12's lineup of limited-time campaigns, following the success of programs like Dip'n to Flavor and Chili Days: Warm Bellies. Together, these initiatives support Chartwells K12's mission to make the cafeteria a place where students genuinely enjoy by serving food they're excited to see on the menu and creating experiences that go beyond the tray.
