7th
grade students will begin reporting to the north end of Neuman
Gym in the mornings before 7:35 a.m. on Monday, February 8.This change is being made so that more
students may participate in the morning breakfast program.Only students who are participating in the
breakfast program may be in the cafeteria before 7:35 a.m.
We
are trying to increase our numbers who are eating breakfast at our school.Fuel Up to Play
students conducted taste testing of two breakfast features last Tuesday during
6 and 6C lunches.Students had the
opportunity to sample apple Boscos (a breadstick
filled with apple pie filling) and breakfast rounds (which taste like oatmeal
cookies, but are more nutritious with less sugar).Consider the following reasons to check out
the breakfast menu and allow your children to participate:
Convenience. Mornings can be hectic. School breakfast takes one
thing of the morning “to do” list.
Value. Breakfast at school is inexpensive. Many families
that already participate in the National School Lunch Program are eligible
for free or reduced price breakfast.
Nutrition. Parents can be sure their child is eating a healthy
breakfast. School breakfast is guaranteed to meet 1/4 of the recommended
daily intake of nutrients.
Link to Positive Academic Performance. Research shows that students who eat a
healthy breakfast are more attentive, have better memory recall, and
perform better on standardized tests than those who do not eat a healthy
breakfast.
