National School Breakfast Week officially starts today!
Durham Public Schools (DPS) offers free breakfast and lunch to ALL students regardless of income or application. Allowing all students to eat for free reduces stigma in cafeterias and increases student's access to the nutrition they need to succeed throughout the school day. Students who participate in school breakfast show improved behavior, attendance, and academic performance as well as decreased tardiness.

Child nutrition programs such as the School Breakfast Program, the School Lunch Program, SNAP, Summer Nutrition EBT, and WIC are a key strategy to support positive development and behavior among students facing food insecurity.

Child nutrition programs such as the NSBP provide a lifeline for children and families in our community. Research shows these programs are effective in alleviating food insecurity and poverty, supporting good nutrition, and improving health and learning.
