COMING IN FROM OUR CAFETERIA

Dear Parents,

If you are like most parents of today, mornings are hectic and leave little or no time for breakfast.  The school breakfast program is a great solution to this common stressor in the morning and the cost is only $1.25.  We serve milk, juice, choice of cereal, bagel, whole wheat honey bun, oatmeal, and other choices as the menus change.

Children who eat breakfast:

Have a more positive attitude towards school

Perform better in school

Have improved nutrient intakes

Have a healthier body weight

Less likely to be tardy

Less likely to miss class

Improved math and reading scores

Fewer reported discipline problems

Breakfast supplies essential nutrients:

Calcium

Iron

B vitamins

When these nutrients are missed at breakfast they are typically not made up during the day.

Did you know that adults and children who regularly eat a CEREAL breakfast feel better in mind and body?  They have a healthier body weight and it is a lower calorie breakfast choice.

You are welcome to visit us at breakfast or lunch and eat with your children anytime.

We are open to serve breakfast at 8:15-8:45 a.m. Have a great school year!

LuAnne Kelley,

Cafeteria Manager
