Students in our program frequently come to school without having eaten breakfast. Many have trouble with transportation and come in late. By the time they get to school, they are expected to learn but are coming in late and hungry. Students simply cannot learn and succeed in school on an empty stomach. A breakfast with some snacks later in the morning always helps motivates students to become more active and engaged throughout their school day. Our program rewards students with food based on their academic and social successes. Positive reinforcement helps encourage students to be better students and citizens at Lowell High School.
