Back to Breakfast
Many will agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The importance becomes even more apparent for those engaged in daily learning.
At Grey Bruce Eat and Learn, the benefits of offering student nutrition programs in Bluewater District School Board schools have been observed firsthand. Better attendance rates, less aggressive behaviours and more on-task time are a few of the positive outcomes we hear about in Bluewater schools when students arriving hungry at school are offered a healthy morning meal.
