Full tummies equates to student learning. Reflections on and images of a School Breakfast Program at Rosecrans Elementary in California.
"I was particularly impressed with how effectively the teachers were able to integrate the breakfast time into their teaching. The fourth grade teacher had established a system where students would file into the classroom, turn in their homework and ask any questions, and then get their breakfasts from the coolers. The kids also worked on multiplication tables and throughout the breakfast time the multiplication table was up on the projector and educational music was playing (a multiplication table rap song to be exact!). I left Rosecrans Elementary with a renewed sense of confidence that we can conquer childhood hunger in America. Rosecrans is a great reminder that working together with key partners like California Food Policy Advocates, schools, elected officials, and corporate funders, there are people and communities all over the country who are making real and significant changes to ensure that kids are getting the food and nutrition they need to achieve their goals."
