School Breakfast
Forging fresh ways to serve school breakfast
What is breakfast after the bell?
When breakfast is served during the school day, just like lunch, student participation skyrockets. Breakfast after the bell is typically served during the first few minutes of the school day, usually in the classroom, although other methods can be effective. Serving breakfast before school is ineffective simply because most children have not yet arrived. Breakfast after the bell eliminates stigma and brings millions more into our schools to feed hungry students, maximizing our investment in public education.
