March Break is time to ensure the fridge and freezer are filled with kid-friendly snacks such as TOFUTTI frozen Novelties
like TOFUTTI Cuties (mini non-dairy ice cream bars), Chocolate Fudge Treats, Yours Truly Cones and Hooray Bars and tubs of TOFUTTI PREMIUM ® non-dairy frozen dessert.
March break 2018 runs from Monday March 12 to Friday March 16 for both the public and Catholic elementary and secondary school boards in Ontario.
March Break dates vary across the country. New Brunswick and Quebec March Break usually occurs during the first week of March, while Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia school boards schedule their spring breaks during the second or third week of March. The week-long break for Alberta and Manitoba students usually occurs the last week of March.
Also known as Spring Break or Easter Break in the U.S., spring school breaks are celebrated in many countries around the world including South and Central America, several European countries as well as Asia. Post-secondary (college and university) students often have Reading Week in early spring –a time when students crack open the books to study for exams, or maybe do a little partying!
