Dear Parents and Students,
Starting November 1st through December 20th breakfast will be $.50 cents for all paying students, $.30 for reduced students and free for any children that qualify for free lunch. Why are we doing this? Breakfast builds better bodies, provides fuel for the day and boosts brain power! Studies show that when kids eat breakfast they have higher test scores, improved daily attendance and better class participation. Breakfast at school is a convenient and nutritious option not only for kids who don't have access to breakfast at home, but it's also great for busy families or kids who don’t feel hungry as soon as they wake up.
We offer a variety of hot and cold items. Some choices are bagels &cream cheese, yogurt & cheese stick, pancake on a stick, mini pancakes, pop tarts and cereal bowl choices. Breakfast will include entrée, hot or cold, fruit option and milk. All our buildings allow children to eat breakfast in the classroom.
We will be running a contest for all grade levels starting Nov 1st and going through December 20th to see what grade level eats the most breakfast. The top grade level that eats the most breakfast during this time frame will get to celebrate with a free pizza lunch and snack. All teachers in the winning grade level will get lunch as well and one $100 gift card for the teachers to share. On occasion, we will also be randomly giving out little prizes to some of the students.
Please encourage your child to start their day out with breakfast. Please feel free to give me a call or email me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
Terri Hoerth
Food Service Director
