All children need a nutritious breakfast. The School Breakfast Program
offers all children--
regardless of their economic status--a critical jump
start at the beginning of each day.
Calling all districts! Don't forget that Reauthorization requires that districts conduct outreach on the availability of the School Breakfast Program - both at the beginning of the school year and during the school year. Please see the USDA memo and the USDA Toolkit for more information.
