Eating Breakfast Boosts Student Achievement

Research continues to show the link between eating breakfast and higher school performance, increased attention and improved behavior. Breakfast is also linked to a lower body mass index, lower obesity rates, and an overall improvement in diet quality.

Taking the time to have a healthy breakfast before heading out the door can be a challenge. SoWashCo Schools can help, as breakfast is served daily.

Federal guidelines ensure school breakfast provides nutritious foods from whole grains, fruit, lean protein and low-fat milk. For $1.50 at elementary schools and $1.90 at secondary schools, students can enjoy breakfast. Breakfast is often a hot item such as waffles, bagel sandwiches, or oatmeal, but we also offer cereal, yogurt, cheese or seeds, fruit and milk.
