Access to Healthy Foods

As a first period teacher, I allow my students to bring their Grab & Go breakfast into the classroom and eat it at their desks. Students have been enjoying fresh fruit and fueling up for the long school day. A lot of students come to school late and often do not have time to have breakfast at home. Grab & Go is a great option for them to get food in their bellies and not go through the day hungry and distracted.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Student participation in breakfast has increased dramatically. Students seem to be more focused through their morning classes.
