We’re happy to announce that the Boise School District Board of Trustees has approved FREE BREAKFAST for ALL students. 🥯🥛🍎 “Breakfast is often referred to as the most important meal of the day, and this holds especially true for students before they begin their academic day,” said Board President Dave Wagers. “By providing free breakfast to all of our students, we are not only promoting health and well-being but also creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.” “Studies show that a well-nourished child who starts the day with breakfast is more likely to be at school, a better learner, and ready to participate in the classroom,” explained Lisa Roberts, deputy superintendent and incoming superintendent, Boise School District. “In addition, by offering breakfast to all students, regardless of their financial status, we are fostering equality and inclusivity within our school communities.” Also beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, breakfast and lunch will be free for all students attending the following Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools: Fairmont, Frank Church, Garfield, Grace Jordan, Hawthorne, Hillcrest, Horizon, Jefferson, Koelsch, Lowell, Lincoln Early Learning Center, Monroe, Morley Nelson, Mountain View, Owyhee, South, Taft, Valley View, Whitney, and Whittier. https://lnkd.in/gCDp9MSh
