Many kids look forward to their father cooking them breakfast on a morning when they do not have school. You can create an event where the fathers work collectively in the school kitchen to cook for their students. Ideas include organizing a group of dads to plan the menu, which might consist of French toast, waffles, sausage, scrambled eggs, coffee, orange juice and milk. (If they are really ambitious they can squeeze the juice fresh.) The kids will enjoy being served by their dads, and it will give the dads a chance to meet parents of other students at the school.
Many dads have to leave for work around the same time their children leave for school. Therefore holding the school breakfast for dads on the weekend may allow more fathers to attend. You can also consider holding the breakfast as a fundraiser where each meal costs between $5 and $10. If the Saturday breakfast is a fundraiser, try to get the food such as eggs, bacon, pancake mix, coffee and juice donated by local grocers.
Dress-up the breakfast with a made-to-order omelette station at the school. The omelette station can include all of the favorite omelette ingredients such as eggs, egg whites, bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, black olives and spinach, among other options. The fresh omelette station can either be prepared on the school stove, or you can hire a breakfast catering company to set-up the station. The breakfast catering company may be best if you are considering this as a fundraiser since they are professionals.
If the budget is tight for a school breakfast with dad, you can keep the morning simple by offering fresh bagels, cream cheese, an assortment of donuts, coffee and juice. In fact, if your school already serves breakfast, you can simply invite the dads to order from the menu already in place which might additionally include cereal, granola, bars, breakfast bars and fresh fruit. This will save you from enduring any extra cost for food you might not usually purchase.
