In addition to providing free breakfast to every student, Volusia County Schools is using a different delivery model to ensure every kid is starting their day with a healthy meal. No Kid Hungry Florida and the Dairy Council of Florida partnered with Orange City Elementary School to provide the equipment–carts and bags–to make it possible for every student to enjoy Breakfast in the Classroom. With Breakfast in the Classroom, every student starts their day the same and both students and teachers are seeing the benefits! No Kid Hungry is excited to continue our partnership with Volusia County Schools as they grow the program to other schools.
"Even though it seems like they would be losing instructional time, it’s actually gone the opposite way. That 15 or 20 minutes has helped make the students more focused."
