Did you know?

That by teaching your child to eat a healthy breakfast every day, you'll help him build an important habit for life.

Start by explaining to your youngster that food gives him the energy he needs to do schoolwork and to play. Ask him, "Can we drive our car without gas in the tank?" When he says, "of course not!" you can tell him that food is like fuel in his tank.

All Caldwell Schools offer free breakfast to every student every day!
