Rep. Gwen Moore speaks on the floor of the US House of Representatives: March 3, 2009

The US House passed a bipartisan resolution introduced by Congresswoman Gwen Moore recognizing the impact a healthy breakfast can have on a students performance in the classroom. The resolution, identical to a resolution passed in the Senate, is being introduced in honor of National School Breakfast Week and acknowledges how the National School Breakfast program improves childrens nutrition, concentration, and attendance in class, especially when breakfasts are provided during the school day and targeted to low-income students. The resolutions encourage all states to strengthen their school breakfast programs, recognize the need to provide states with resources to ensure all low-income students receive a nutritious breakfast, and express strong support for states that have successfully implemented breakfast programs.
