Breakfast at public schools is free for all children, right? What kind of food do the schools serve in the morning? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Yes, but you have to get to school early (8:15 at the latest) to be able to get it. Basic stuff. [ Reply | More

yes free...cereal (usually kix, cornflakes, cheerios), canned fruit, sometimes pancakes or bacon, muffins, croisants, bagels w/ cream cheese. My daughter loved it she told me she ate twice once at home and again at school. Always milk and OJ at least at PS 198 but I assume it's the same everywhere else or better! [ Reply | More

ooo, my PS 77 kid is going to want to start eating breakfast at school! PS, how are you liking 198? Seems like some positive change happening there, and I like that our two schools seem to be making a bit more of an effort to bring kids together lately. [ Reply | More

It is, but it's not good. I teach middle school and there's a pretty big stigma about going down for the free breakfasts. [ Reply | More
