Breakfast Buddies (for currently enrolled students in all classes)
Did your child eat breakfast that morning? If not, let Melissa Marzolf know if your child needs breakfast (text, email, Brightwheel, pass a note in the hall, tell…). She will discretely and briefly take your student out of class and feed your child a healthy breakfast, no questions asked. This is a free program so no one is hungry and everyone is better able to learn.
Amigos del Desayuno (Breakfast Buddies)
(Para los estudiantes actualmente inscritos en cualquiera de nuestras clases)
¿Su hijo o hija desayunó esta mañana? Si no fue así, avísele a Melissa Marzolf si necesita desayuno (por mensaje de texto, correo electrónico, Brightwheel, una nota, en el pasillo o de la manera que le resulte más conveniente). Ella llevará discretamente a su estudiante fuera del salón por unos minutos para ofrecerle un desayuno saludable, sin hacer preguntas.
Este programa es completamente gratuito para que ningún niño tenga hambre y todos puedan aprender y crecer con la energía que necesitan.
