Breakfast... The most important meal of the day!
Research has shown that eating school breakfast has many health, academic and behavior benefits.
- Students that eat school breakfast consume more fruits and whole grains, drink more milk, and eat less saturated fat than those who eat breakfast at home.
- Children who eat breakfast at school perform better on standardized tests than those who eat breakfast at home or do not eat breakfast at all.
- Students who participate in the School Breakfast Program are more attentive, are tardy less often, have fewer absences, have fewer behavioral problems, and visit the nurse's often less frequently.
