Case study: Meeting students where they are

A well-fed student is better prepared to learn, engage and succeed in the classroom. Discover how three school districts increased breakfast participation by making morning meals more accessible through grab-and-go options, mobile breakfast carts and additional service opportunities beyond the cafeteria. By meeting students where they are, these districts removed barriers to participation and helped more students begin the day, focused and ready to learn.
