WHY:

Eating breakfast at school is a slam dunk for kids.   Research links eating breakfast with better test scores, better attendance and better health.  M-DCPS Celebrity Chef Partners include Michelle Bernstein, Kris Wessel, Michael Schwartz, Julie Frans, Doug Rodriguez, Richard Ingraham and Lorena Garcia. They will be out at schools supporting Florida School Breakfast Week and jump starting the District’s initiative to expand the FREE Breakfast program, which is available to all M-DCPS students. The Celebrity Chef Partners will work with the District’s Department of Food & Nutrition in creating new healthy breakfast items to bring more students into the cafeteria for breakfast.
