OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
HELENA – Gov.
Steve Bullock and First Lady Lisa Bullock have announced nearly $28,000 in
private grant funding to implement the Breakfast After the Bell program in an
additional eight Montana schools.
These schools
received funding to implement an innovative service model that shifts the time
breakfast is served so students are allowed to eat a meal during or between
morning lessons rather than in the cafeteria before classes begin. After
incorporating breakfast into the morning schedule, schools see student
participation in the breakfast program increase by double or more.
The eight
schools that received breakfast grants in this fall 2019 cycle include schools
in Box Elder, Butte, Kalispell, Florence, Forsyth, Fairfield, Joliet and Billings.
