Association Calls for Expanding School Breakfast Programs

MCEA’s statewide affiliate, the Maryland State Education Association, has joined Maryland’s Partnership to End Childhood Hunger and will be engaging members and legislators to fight for resources to expand the school breakfast program and the Maryland Meals for Achievement initiative.  MSEA leaders joined with Share Our Strength representatives at an event in Prince George’s County last month to highlight a recent survey which found that three in five public school teachers said they have children in their classrooms who regularly come to school hungry.  We know we must reach more students and families with these programs if we are going to have a chance at succeeding in and out of the classroom.
