Start the 2018–2019 school year strong by implementing a strong, robust breakfast after the bell program in your school! Moving breakfast to after the start of the school day increases student participation and the benefits pay off throughout the school year. School breakfast leads to better test scores, improved student health, decreased absenteeism and tardiness, and fewer distractions in the classroom throughout the morning. Join this webinar to learn about available resources and effective strategies for planning and implementing a breakfast after the bell program and get students excited about this important meal.

After participating in this webinar, attendees will:

  • Know the benefits of school breakfast for students
  • Learn about best practices for planning and implementing a breakfast after the bell program
  • Obtain available resources to assist with planning and implementing a breakfast after the bell program
