The School Breakfast Program

A hungry child can not learn in today's hectic lifestyle.   It has become increasingly difficult to ensure children and adults are eating breakfast in the morning.   The School Breakfast program was established to meet the needs of children coming to school hungry.  The standard breakfast meal pattern consists of a minimum of three menu items; students must select at least two items, in order to be a reimbursable meal.  

Recent studies have verified that children who arrive to class in the morning after eating breakfast are more prepared to learn and concentrate in school than those arriving hungry.   Furthermore, the same studies indicate that behavior problems are less common in children who have eaten breakfast.  Teachers, staff members, and parents are invited to assist by encouraging all students to eat breakfast before arriving to class.  The benefit of a better educated student is invaluable for both the student and teacher.
