Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 3-7, 2025, as School Breakfast Week in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim March 3-7, 2025, as School Breakfast Week in New York State, highlighting the critical importance of the National School Breakfast Program (SBP). The resolution emphasizes that the SBP, established permanently in 1975, provides nutritionally balanced breakfasts to over 15 million children across 91,000 schools nationwide, with particular focus on addressing food insecurity in New York, where 19% of children face hunger. The document underscores the program's significance by noting that eating breakfast improves children's overall diets, builds healthy eating habits, and enhances academic performance, while also highlighting New York's innovative efforts like the Breakfast After the Bell program and the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Subsidy Program, which have expanded access to no-cost meals for nearly 350,000 additional students. By recognizing the essential roles of parents, caregivers, teachers, and school food personnel, the resolution aims to draw attention to the importance of ensuring children have the nutritional resources needed to grow, learn, and reach their full potential.
