Breakfast in Schools: Healthy & Nutritious. Kids benefit from starting the day with a healthy breakfast. Research shows that kids who eat breakfast regularly tend to be more alert in school, and, therefore, are able to learn better. They also are less likely to be overweight than kids who skip breakfast regularly.
Here at TK Schools, purchasing local foods is extremely important to us. When sourcing our products for breakfast, lunch, and a la carte,, we first and foremost look at products grown and manufactured locally!
How will you celebrate your lunch hero day?
