2010-2011 Expanding Breakfast Grant Application

Traditionally, school breakfast has been served in the school cafeteria before the school day begins. However, for various reasons students may not participate in traditional cafeteria breakfast programs. Schools experience increased breakfast participation when an Expanded Breakfast Program, as defined in this grant application, is implemented.
