Breakfast – Grab and Go!

We have had a new breakfast cart which we purchased with a grant from New England Dairy and Food Council. Out breakfast participation has doubled since putting the cart in place. The cart serves grab and go breakfasts between classes in the morning and students are loving the quick access. They are permitted to eat their breakfast in the classroom and teachers have found their attention and behavior has improved since the cart has been in service. We hope participation will continue to grow as students and teachers get used to this grab and go program. Thank you to New England and Dairy Food Council for making this possible.
