Why breakfast? Studies have shown that hungry children have less energy available for cognitive and social activities, resulting in learning difficulties. Simply stated, hungry children cannot learn; therefore, a nutritionally sound breakfast, every day, should be identified as a key component to a child's ability to learn.
By making breakfast part of every child's school day, absenteeism, tardiness, and disciplinary referrals drop, while overall student performance and behavior improves.
Believing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and believing that all students would benefit tremendously from receiving a nourishing, healthy breakfast, we, the Palm Beach County School Food Service Department, have made it our immediate priority to make breakfast accessible to all students, every day.
