Studies prove children who eat breakfast are better prepared to learn in school. Increase breakfast participation by Expanding Breakfast outside of the cafeteria!.  The benefits children receive from eating a nutritious breakfast are numerous and well-documented. However, many children don't eat breakfast at home and even if breakfast is offered in the cafeteria, many don't participate.
