The Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS) is committed to preparing the whole child for being ready to learn and therefore, has been expanding the school wide breakfast program for the last three years. Last school year, TheBreakfast Club expanded the Program to include all elementary and all middle and pre-K to 8 schools. This year, the program includes all high schools. Eating a healthy breakfast each morning helps prepare young minds and bodies for a productive day of learning. Breakfast at school saves time and money, and students enjoy eating breakfast with their friends.
