It’s time to look at school breakfast. Whether they are too sleepy in the morning to eat breakfast before they leave home, have to catch an early bus
before they’re really hungry or otherwise miss a good morning meal at home, kids can get a nutritious breakfast at school. Every day an average of 8.1 million students eat breakfast in 78% of the nation’s schools. Since 1966 the School Breakfast Program has made the morning meal available to any child who wants to participate.
Three different research studies have shown that eating a school breakfast can lead to the following results:
- improving standardized test scores, especially in math
- a better attendance record and fewer tardy slips
- fewer trips to the nurse’s office
- fewer trips to the principal’s office
