The Benefits of Proper Nutrition

“The children loved this initiative, they really look forward to snack time. Perhaps the best way to illustrate the effectiveness of snack is to share a story. In May month snack was very late. The children became anxious and could not focus. It was impossible to settle them for homework. However, once snack arrived stress was gone, bellies were not hungry and the children were able to sit and complete their homework."
- St. Mark's All Grade

“The Breakfast Program has been a great service to our students and raised awareness of nutritional issues, but perhaps the great and most positive impact has occurred in improving student-student relationships. Those with real need are just one of the crowd.”
- Ray

“School attendance has improved, and the atmosphere during breakfast time is super.”
- Kelly

“We have noted a decrease in the number of students leaving school in the morning due to stomach and head pains.”
- Greg
