Remember, breakfast is always available at school and quite affordable. A full breakfast costs less than convenience store items and is more nutritious. If you qualify for free or reduced price meals, you also qualify for free or reduced price breakfast. Breakfast costs $1.50, or if you are eligible for reduced meals it is 30¢. Take advantage of this option to ensure your child eats a nutritious breakfast. Recent studies show a link between nutrition and learning; a nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can actively participate in class.
