Madison Area YMCA Announces National School Breakfast Week

From Madison Area YMCA:

The Madison Area YMCA has announced its celebration of National School Breakfast Week, taking place Monday, March 7 through Friday, March 11. Members of the community are invited to join the Madison Area YMCA in eating breakfast at the F.M. Kirby Children's Center.

The YMCA encourages a singular tip: Kids that fuel up in the morning focus and concentrate better in the classroom and perform better on math, reading and standardized tests. They also have fewer behavior problems and are less likely to be tardy. There are also findings stating that even a child who is well nourished, but skips breakfast, can have problem-solving difficulties that are serious enough to lower their test-taking ability.
