 Less than half of the children in America who are eligible for a free or reduced breakfast take advantage of the USDA-provided meal. A program called "Breakfast in the Classroom" is trying to get more lower-income students to eat breakfast. The program, managed by a group of organizations known collectively as the Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom, brings food to the students in class after the morning bell. That way, students don't come to school early just to eat, and they aren't rushing to get to class, skipping breakfast on the way. The program was launched in five school districts around the country and expanding to include ten more this school year. Knox County Schools in Tennessee, which opened its doors to students on August 14, is a newcomer to the in-classroom meal program. |

P.S. Please review our icons for Windows and windows12icons.
It's great that feeding kids is a priority, but is this really the best America has to offer low-income youths?? Where's the nutrition to feed their hungry brains? Why pumped them with highly refined industrial garbage that is dead, devitalized, full of sugar, and chemical laden? We should pay more for real food now so we pay less down the road for medical care and lost productivity.
