March 4 – 8, 2013 is national school breakfast week

School meals help students to do better in school:

Research has shown that students who eat school meals perform their best academically and helps students do their best in school.

Students who eat school breakfast have greater gains in standardized test scores and show improvements in math, reading and vocabulary scores.*

Healthy eating correlates with less trips to the school nurse and less absenteeism.

Providing nutritious school breakfast on testing days – and every school day leads to improved test scores.
