Why is school breakfast important?
School breakfast is an important to student success, and implementing alternative breakfast models - such as Breakfast in the Classroom, Grab and Go, or Second Chance - ensures more youth can benefit from this important program.
Participation in the School Breakfast Program has been linked with: better test performance; fewer cases of tardiness, absenteeism, and disciplinary problems; fewer visits to the school nurse; improved overall dietary quality; and a lower probability of issues related to being overweight or obese.
