Elementary students can now eat breakfast at school for free thanks to the Orange County School Board of Education recently voting to create the Universal Free Breakfast Program for Pre-K to fifth grade students.
The program began on July 1 and is to ensure that every student can receive a nutritious breakfast to begin the school day.
The board said in a statement that hunger “will not be a barrier” to success in the classroom.
There is no advance registration for students of Orange County Schools and students can eat breakfast on any day they choose.
