Universal Free School Breakfast Program is available to all students K-8 every school day. No advanced registration is necessary. These supervised meals are nutritionally balanced and vary daily. School Breakfast is an ideal solution for busy mornings when kids are running late or parents have early work schedules. Oftentimes, kids are not hungry when they first wake up but are ready to eat when school begins. Studies have shown that children who eat a nutritious breakfast have better behavior, better attendance, and improved test scores.
