Breakfast For Everyone — First Meal Matters

Topics:

At a school where over 95 percent of students are eligible for free and reduced lunch, we stress the importance of getting a good breakfast to start your day. Our school offers free breakfast for every student and we allow students to eat upon arrival even if this is late. Students who arrive after the tardy bell are given a meal that they can take to the classroom and eat. We really stress getting good food in our students so they can learn and be successful in the classroom.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Students who are tardy after the bell rings. How do we serve them? We have food that can be taken into the class room.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

We make sure that all students upon arrival go to the cafe and get breakfast.
