Breakfast Participation Rates Increase at Hill Intermediate School
More students at Hill Intermediate School are enjoying a breakfast meal every morning. Breakfast participation rates have always been high at the campus, but they have really soared this school year. Recently, administrators at Hill Intermediate were informed that the campus had the highest breakfast participation rate among Aldine ISD campuses in October. Hill Intermediate School experienced an average participation rate of 76% in the free breakfast program. During the month of October, approximately 560 breakfast meals were served each day.
Hill Intermediate School’s success can be attributed in large part to the campus’ unique breakfast distribution system. Upon arriving at the campus every morning, fifth grade students select their breakfast option from one of several breakfast carts set up in the fifth grade hallway. The fifth grade students can then eat breakfast in their homeroom classroom. Sixth grade students report to the cafeteria to pick up and enjoy their breakfast meal.
The delivery system allows the child nutrition staff to distribute breakfast to a large number of students in a quick and efficient manner that does not interfere with instructional time.
La’Shuw Rolison, cafeteria manager at Hill Intermediate School, is proud of her team and the success they have experienced with the free breakfast program.
“Go Hill Hawks!” exclaimed Rolison. “Continue to eat the most important meal of the day. Let’s strive for 100% participation!”
