Breakfast For Everyone — First Meal Matters

Topics:

Access to Healthy Foods,  Student Leadership

Our Student Ambassadors met with our District Dietitians and lead food service managers to express their concerns with the food options right now. They also were able to request some new items for our push for kids to eat more breakfast. The students were able to ask for more items that include dairy and just more variety. We had some great dialogue and the Student Ambassadors are extremely excited about starting our new Grab and Go breakfast idea.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

The students came up with list and topics ahead of time that they wanted to talk about. They were able to constructively try to solve some problems and and come up with ways to make our breakfasts better. The adults from the district listened to our students and we were all working together.
