It’s the third annual Eat Well To Excel Day.
The Simcoe County Nutrition Program for School-Age Children is a non-profit organization that supports volunteer run breakfast, morning meal, lunch and/or snack programs to children and youth, in over 185 schools in Simcoe County, to support their learning and healthy development.
Research has established that proper nutrition, mainly during the morning hours, plays an important role in supporting learning.
There are many reasons why kids participate in nutrition programs, including:
- They take the school bus and don’t have time to eat breakfast
- Fresh fruit and veggies aren’t available at home on a regular basis
- They like the social aspects of eating breakfast with their friends
- Family finances are tight
