Breakfast = Achievement
A healthy breakfast is an essential part of being prepared to learn. Yet, today’s fast paced lifestyle sometimes prevents children from sitting down to a balance breakfast before heading off to school. If that’s the case in your house, give school breakfast a try!
School breakfast provides a nutritious morning meal that meets one-fourth of children’s daily needs for calories and key nutrients, including calcium.
It also receives high grades for helping children be more alert, focused and ready to tackle the day. Studies consistently show that school breakfast:
- Helps students score higher on tests and improves grades
- Makes it easier for students to pay attention in class
- Decreases disruptive behavior and visits to the nurse
- Decreases tardiness and absenteeism
