Why is breakfast important?

Starting your day with breakfast is a very important part to a student's day. It allows their mind and body to prepare for the day ahead. Here are some of the many benefits to breakfast:

Students reach a higher level of achievement in reading and math.
Students score higher on standardized tests.
Students have better concentration and memory
Students are more alert.

All GMSD Schools offer breakfast 30 minutes prior to school starting. We would love to serve your child to ensure that they are ready to tackle a new day of learning!
