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.
