Abaco Strong kicked off our ABC Breakfast Program in mid September and the program is now in full swing. The enrollment at Coopers Town Primary School has more than doubled since last year, which presented a challenge for us. Rather than delay the start of the program, we are providing breakfast for all of the children on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are currently serving 235 children from Kindergarten through 5th grade. The children arrive on three different buses, and are served breakfast upon their arrival as they make their way to the classroom.
A typical breakfast includes a plate of grits, suasage or tuna, and some fruit such as pineapple chunks or mango pineapple sauce. The children love the breakfast, and the teachers agree that a nourishing breakfast helps the children stay focused, and improves behavior and attendance.
If you would like to see this program continue and expand, please consider a monthly or one time donation to support our ABC Campaign. We need your help to fund the program for the entire school year, and we are hoping to expand the program to other schools in Abaco.
Thank you for your Support!
Stay Abaco Strong,
Martha
