RISE, SHINE, AND DINE! Holland Public Schools Breakfast Program.
- Why eat school breakfast?
- What's on the tray?
- We make it easy: Breakfast in the Classroom
Did you know Breakfast is completely FREE for ALL students!
WHY EAT SCHOOL BREAKFAST?
- According to the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC):
- Better Attention: Students who eat breakfast perform better in the classroom.
- Focus Power: Improves concentration and memory retention.
- Attendance: Students who eat breakfast are less likely to be late or absent.
- Health: Reduces the risk of nutritional deficiencies and obesity.
WHAT’S ON THE TRAY?
We serve a complete meal to get the day started right. Every breakfast includes:
- A Delicious Breakfast Entree (Whole grains to keep energy up!)
- Assorted Fruit
- Ice Cold Milk (Local, fresh, and nutritious!)
WE MAKE IT EASY: Breakfast in the Classroom - We know mornings are busy. That's why we would love to bring the food to the students!
- Elementary: We would utilize the Breakfast in the Classroom model.
- Why? This ensures maximum opportunities for every student to eat. No rushing to the cafeteria before the bell—students can settle in, eat with friends, and get ready to learn, and the time the teacher spends with the students at BREAKFAST counts as Instructional Time.
🚀 START YOUR DAY THE RIGHT WAY!
