From the Gillett School Web site. I apologize to the Gillett school district for assuming a free breakfast is a free breakfast. It would of been nice if the newspaper article would of added two more sentences to show the cost per student.The first article from the home page states no cost per student. I had to go to the Monday morning school announcements to see the $1.30 per day cost for students. Hey, I 'm a blogger and not a newspaper. I made a mistake and apologize.
From Monday morning anouncements.
Just to clarify, maybe son # 2 did not give me proper information and or me as a bad parent didn't see it.
I am still against gov. waste.
"Students to get Free Breakfast October 13-17
Students at all grade levels, elementary and secondary, will be offered FREE BREAKFAST each morning during the week of October 13-17. The Free Breakfast is being offered as a way to introduce students in the secondary building to the new breakfast program recently initiated in the building while in the elementary building the Free Breakfast is being offered to show our appreciation to those who have supported the program over the past 2 years and hopefully introduce school breakfast to students not already taking advantage of the program.
Statistics have shown that students who have a nutritious breakfast are better prepared to learn and do better in school than students who go without breakfast or eat items that are low in nutritional value. At the elementary level, most reading and math instructional blocks take place during the morning and students need the energy provided by a nutritious breakfast if they are expected to be at their peak learning potential. At the secondary level, a nutritious breakfast will prepare students for their long and busy day much more so than the coffee and sweet roll from the local mini-mart. Our school breakfasts meet the United States Department of Agriculture nutritional requirements for school breakfast programs.
Funds to pay for the free breakfasts is coming from a School Breakfast Start-up Grant received from DPI for the secondary building and a School Breakfast Continuation Grant received from DPI for the elementary building" Gillett Secondary School - GSD Home
