Breakfast in the Classroom will be offered at the following schools starting in the 2018-2019 school year:  Bancroft, Bayard, Brader, Brookside, CEEC, Gallaher, Gauger-Cobbs, Jones, Keene, Leasure, Maclary, Marshall, McVey, Oberle, Palmer, Pulaski, Shue-Medill, Stubbs, West Park and Wilson.

 

Participating schools will have individually wrapped breakfast items available in the cafeteria.  The students will come through the cafeteria lines, place the breakfast items of their choice in a bag, and proceed to the register for check-out.  Once they are through the cafeteria line, the students will take their bagged breakfast to their classroom to eat, rather than sitting at the cafeteria tables. By offering a Grab-n-Go breakfast program, we believe our students will benefit from a nutritious breakfast that will fuel them to succeed in the classroom.  If you have any questions about the Grab-n-Go breakfast program, please free to stop by the cafeteria.
