Dear Chicago Board of Education:

I am writing to express my support for breakfast in the classroom and to thank Chicago Public Schools for bringing this health-promoting program to all schools.

Research consistently shows that breakfast has a positive impact on children’s health and learning: students who have a healthy breakfast are better prepared to focus and get the most out of their lessons throughout the day. Providing a healthy breakfast for all students is especially critical in Chicago, where more than 85 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. Far too many CPS students face the ongoing problem of childhood hunger and come to school without a healthy breakfast. This basic need can affect children’s health and learning for a lifetime.

I commend CPS for recognizing the connection between students’ health and their opportunities to learn by bringing a healthy breakfast to all students.

Estimados Miembros de la Junta de Educación de Chicago (CPS):

Les escribo para expresar mi apoyo para el desayuno en el salón (desayuno universal) y dar las gracias a las Escuelas Públicas de Chicago (CPS) por llevar este programa que promueve la salud en todas las escuelas.

Las investigaciones muestran consecuentemente que el desayuno tiene un impacto positivo en la salud infantil y el aprendizaje: los estudiantes que tienen un desayuno saludable están mejor preparados para enfocar y sacar el máximo provecho de sus clases durante todo el día. Proporcionar un desayuno saludable para todos los estudiantes es especialmente crítico en Chicago, donde más del 85 por ciento de los estudiantes califican para recibir comidas escolares gratuitas o a precio reducido. Demasiados estudiantes de CPS enfrentan el problema del hambre infantil y en turno llegan a la escuela sin un desayuno saludable. Esta necesidad básica puede afectar la salud de los niños y el aprendizaje para toda la vida.

Felicito a CPS por el reconocimiento de la conexión entre la salud de los estudiantes y sus oportunidades de aprender trayendo un desayuno saludable a todos los estudiantes.

Kids cant learn when they are starving. Let them eat in the room so they can focus on their work. My own kids are always asking for food first thing in the morning.
