Breakfast for Learning: Why the Morning Meal Matters

For years, nutrition experts have said that eating breakfast is a key start to the day. Research shows that regularly eating breakfast positively affects school performance, including having better concentration and more energy. Despite this, approximately 13% of all school-aged kids skip breakfast. This increases to 27% in adolescence.

Due to inclement weather, the monthly mobile food pantry hosted at Holland High School has been cancelled today. The next food pantry at Holland High will be on Monday, February 10 at 4:30 pm. 

If you are in need of food assistance, see here for a list of other local mobile food pantries, or search here by zip code for additional food resources.
