Breakfast Bill Aims To Curb Hunger In The Classroom

Have you ever tried to get work done when you're hungry? It's not a pretty situation.

You might feel tired, distracted, even angry until you are able to stop your stomach from grumbling. The benefit for most grownups is that as adults, they have the autonomy to get up from a work desk, or make a pit stop on the road to grab a snack or a drink to help put themselves back on track.

For kids, not so much.
