Study shows connection between school breakfast and improved math skills

Feb. 28—Children who eat breakfast in school do better in math and miss fewer class days, according to a new national study released Wednesday.

"The simple act of feeding kids a healthy school breakfast can have a dramatic impact on their academic, health, and economic futures," the study concluded.

The report was created for Share Our Strength, a national nonprofit working to end childhood hunger in America through its No Kid Hungry campaign.
