Please Stand Up for New York Kids

Dear [Decision Maker],

The New York State Legislature is currently considering a budget proposal that will ensure more students start their day with a healthy meal by expanding Breakfast After the Bell programs to more students in high-poverty schools.

I am urging you to support this proposal.

School breakfast is one of the most effective ways we have to make sure kids get the nutrition they need. Yet today, tens of thousands of kids are missing out on breakfast and coming to school too hungry to learn.

You can help fix that.

Breakfast after the bell makes school breakfast a part of the school day and ensures kids start their day with a healthy meal.

This helps students. For many kids, school breakfast is a school supply as important to learning as textbooks or pencils. Research shows that consistent, reliable access to school breakfast can have an impact on everything from classroom focus to test scores and attendance rates.

It's also beneficial to our state. When kids get the healthy food they need every day, they feel better, learn more and grow up stronger. This is good for New York, as healthier, smarter kids are more likely to grow up strong and break the cycle of poverty.

Some schools already have Breakfast After the Bell and it has resulted in significantly more children eating breakfast. This access is important to ALL children in need.  This session, please support the Breakfast After the Bell proposal. Hungry kids can't wait.
