Our Kindergarten class is enjoying our new program, Breakfast after the Bell. Free breakfast is delivered to the classroom where students eat with their peers while their teacher takes attendance, reads, or begins other classroom duties.
Increased breakfast participation is linked to improved academic scores, reduced disruptive behavior, and reduced rates of absence and tardiness. Breakfast After the Bell gives all students the opportunity to eat a nutritious meal at the beginning of the day.
