Tyrone Area Middle and High School students will have an opportunity to \u2018grab\u2019 a breakfast and \u2018go\u2019 to homeroom to eat it, beginning today.
\nAccording to Julie Patton, TAHS nurse, studies show that students are more attentive and learn better when they eat breakfast.
\nThe school district\u2019s food service program, working with the district\u2019s Community School Health Council and Student Activities Program, is trying a new way to deliver breakfast to adolescent students who often do not make the time for this important meal.
\nPatton told The Daily Herald that in addition to the usual breakfast line in the cafeteria, a special cart will be set up in the auditorium lobby so that students can grab breakfast as soon as they enter the building from buses and the parking lot.
\nToday and tomorrow, free \u201cGrab and Go\u201d breakfasts will be offered to all middle and high school students as well as staff members.
\nThe process is simple, and all students have to do is grab a bag at one of the breakfast areas and fill it with their choice of breakfast pastry, fruit or juice and milk.
\nPatton said that if students have time to eat in the cafeteria, that is one option. If it is more convenient, students may bring the bag with them to homeroom and eat it there as another option.
\nThe \u201cGrab and Go\u201d trial will continue next week, but at the regular breakfast price of $.65. Students eligible for reduced breakfast will be charged $.30 and the meal will be provided at no cost to those who qualify for free school meals.
\nPatton added that the staff and administration at the school district hopes that all students take advantage of this opportunity and that the \u201cGrab and Go\u201d program is a great success. If it works well, \u201cGrab and Go\u201d breakfast could return during the 2005-06 school year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
