June 19, 2019



Recently, the School Nutrition Foundation and the Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom hosted a Breakfast Summit. Hear from Houston County, a school district in Georgia that has had success both with a universal free model of breakfast in the classroom as well as counting and claiming model in some schools in the district.
