Breakfast now available at SMS
By Linda Nelson
SMS Counselor
Swanton Middle School is now offering breakfast to all students. Students who are interested can go in the attendance door at 7:10 a.m. and go to the cafeteria to purchase a healthy breakfast.
As the counselor, I see daily the importance of eating breakfast. Students who skip breakfast have greater hyperactivity, irritability, and anxiety. In addition we see more disruptive classroom behavior, more tardiness and lower test scores.
Students who eat breakfast do better on standardized tests, have increased energy and have higher concentration. For more information you can go to www.aboutkidshealth.ca and find more information on the importance of a healthy breakfast for your child.
