STUDENT BREAKFAST PROGRAM
School breakfasts play a big role in helping kids get the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and be healthy. Breakfast is a big supplier of foods most kids don’t eat enough of—whole grains, fruits, and dairy. Kids who eat school breakfast eat more of these foods than kids who eat breakfast elsewhere. On average, students who participate in the School Breakfast Program eat a breakfast of higher nutritional quality than students who eat breakfast elsewhere.

Better Eating Habits that Day

Having breakfast helps provide the energy students need throughout the day.
Enhances Memory and Attention
Having breakfast not only helps students stay more alert, but also have improved memory throughout the day.
Longer feelings of Satisfaction
Children and adolescents who eat a protein-rich breakfast report lower hunger for up to 4 hours.
Gives You Energy
If students skip out on having breakfast, this can result in them feeling sluggish and even more tired throughout the day.
Having breakfast helps give the body the glucose it needs to have enough energy and stay alert throughout the day.
Better Mental Health
Skipping breakfast leads to low blood sugar, which causes low mood, irritability and fatigue.
It is therefore important for their well-being that students have breakfast, even if it is something quick that they can have on the go.
