In the secondary schools, other items and additional servings of pizza are offered ala carte. A recent study m the district revealed that 50 of middle and hign school students do not eat bream um, and those who do eat something early in the day, say it is usually a soft drink or candy bar. In homes where both parents work, and in single parent households, more and more children are either feeding themselves or skipping breakfast altogether. We need to do more to help children and adults understand the relationship between good nutrition and effective learning, Mrs. Pace said.

When the number reaches 60 additional funding is available for the program. A study is being conducted in the district to determine the feasibility of a breakfast program to provide the morning nourishment children need to make learning more effective. Pace recently assembled a local focus group made up of principals, parents, students and a school board member who discussed breakfast programs with some of the Child Nutrition Program leaders from the State Office of Education. Instituting breakfast programs requires changes of routines, but State Office people said principals who have been willing to make these changes have been rewarded with higher test scores.
