Dear Parents:

We are once again renewing our commitment to making sure that all of our students are fully prepared for academic success. We all recognize that hungry children cannot learn. The first step is ensuring that all students begin the school day with a nutritious breakfast at home or at school.

Our school is part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which provides free breakfast and lunch to all students, regardless of income. No advance registration is necessary, your child can eat every day or only occasionally. These supervised meals meet all government nutritional guidelines, and our staff work to provide students with a variety of choices.

Breakfast will be available starting at 8:15. Breakfast After the Bell, 2nd Chance Breakfast which provides an opportunity for all students to have breakfast after the start of the school day, will be available for students who arrive late or who were not hungry during 1st breakfast. It is an ideal solution for mornings when kids are running late or parents have early commitments. Whatever the reason, if breakfast at home is not convenient, please take advantage of breakfast here at school.

Thank you for helping us to make sure that all of our students start the school day alert, well-fed and ready to learn.

Sincerely,

Wendy Olson Wishkah Valley School wolson@wishkah.org 360-532-3128 ext. 1280
