The Nutrition Consortium of NYS and the American Dairy Association & Dairy Council are pleased to announce the 2009 School Breakfast Summit: Grow Your School Breakfast Program.
We invite food service directors, district superintendants, school principals, school nurses, and other advocates of interest to this event scheduled on Wednesday, May 6th from 12:30 pm – 4:30 pm in Syracuse.
Please join us for an afternoon of free workshops on:
learning about the School Breakfast Program and how morning nutrition is helping students of all ages, increasing participation in your breakfast program by serving breakfast outside the cafeteria, garnering additional support from key players in your district, and
conducting activities to raise awareness about breakfast at school.
Good nutrition is essential to the well-being of children of all ages. Thanks to schools across the state, students in NYS are eating school meals to help them grow and learn in a positive learning environment. School breakfast provides an excellent opportunity for students to fuel up for a day of learning - studies continue to show that children who eat breakfast achieve higher test scores, have better attendance records, and cause fewer classroom behavior problems.
While breakfast is for all children at school, did you know that only 1 in 5 students throughout NYS eat breakfast at school? Children are missing out on good nutrition! Especially during these tough financial times, breakfast at school can help stretch struggling household budgets.
See flyer and registration form for additional details. Hope to see you there!
