School Breakfast

School breakfast is one of the most powerful programs for feeding kids – Montana youth thrive when their bellies are full at the start of each day.

Did you know?

Traditionally, school breakfast is served in the cafeteria before the start of the school day. In this model, students can face the following barriers to participate:

  • Transportation: If the school bus or a parent drop off is late, a student misses breakfast.
  • Stigma: There is often a stigma associated with eating breakfast in the cafeteria.

There are many ways to serve breakfast that can increase student participation. Examples: Breakfast In the Classroom, Grab-N-Go, and Second Chance Breakfast. Use this link to see which method would work best for your school.
