Daily News | Free breakfast returns for Pa. school students this year, Gov. Wolf announces
"I’m taking hunger off the table for Pennsylvania kids by creating the Universal Free Breakfast Program," Gov. Wolf said Friday.
“It is completely unacceptable for a child to start the day hungry,” Wolf said in a statement. “I’m taking hunger off the table for Pennsylvania kids by creating the Universal Free Breakfast Program. Regardless of whether or not they qualify for free or reduced meals normally, every student enrolled in public or private schools will have the opportunity to feed their belly before they feed their mind this school year.
“Universal free school breakfast across Pennsylvania helps to ensure every student will start their day with a healthy, nutritious meal,” Froehlich said in a statement. “Research supports that a well-nourished child who starts the day with breakfast is more likely to be at school, has improved concentration and is more willing to participate in the classroom.”
