How Does a Grab-n-Go Breakfast Work?
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.Why Breakfast in the Classroom?
Research has shown that a nutritious, well-balanced breakfast improves student performance. According to current literature, breakfast has a positive influence on student performance in the following ways:- Increased cognitive function and school performance
- Increased attention span
- Decreased discipline problems, absenteeism and tardiness
