Exciting Grant Award to Enhance School Breakfast!
We are thrilled to announce that the Child Nutrition Program has been awarded a $10,000 grant from No Kid Hungry to support exciting new breakfast initiatives at our schools!
Starting next school year, we will implement:
✅ A coffee bar at the high school to provide students with a popular
and appealing breakfast option.
✅ Nutritious smoothies as an alternative breakfast choice.
✅ Expanded fruit offerings across all schools, including quarterly features of exotic fruits such as papaya, mango, and dragon fruit at breakfast!
These enhancements aim to increase student participation, improve nutrition, and support academic success by making breakfast more engaging and enjoyable. Stay tuned for more details as we roll out these initiatives!
