Expanding Breakfast: It's a proven fact that good nutrition leads to improved classroom performance, higher test scores and better behavior. Expanding Breakfast out of the cafeteria into alternative serving locations significantly increases breakfast participation and contributes to the overall revenue of a successful child nutrition program. Let us work with you to implement a successful breakfast program in your district. Southeast Dairy Association is offering $500 grants to schools starting breakfast in the classroom, grab and go breakfast, or breakfast after first period. Contact Greta Heru 888-629-2104 or gheru@sudiainc.com.
