Fuel Up

(2017, March 9) Cleveland Browns Player, Joel Bitonio visited William Cullen Bryant for school breakfast during the National School Breakfast Week. Bitonio enjoyed a school breakfast with students in the cafeteria and guzzled down three cartons of milk that morning. “Breakfast helps fuel my body and prepares me for the day’s challenges,” says Bitonio. The 6’ 4’ 315 lbs NFL player also visited the kindergartens of the school while they ate breakfast in the classroom.

(2017, February 24) “Be honest do you eat Breakfast every day? According to national studies one in three students do not eat breakfast” says Karen Bakies a Registrar Dietitian for American Dairy Association Mideast during a Parent Breakfast Meeting at Artemus Ward School. Breakfast is the first thing all students can do every day to prepare their minds to learn.

(2015, March 6) Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and who better to help students understand that than a professional athlete?

Breakfast is crucial, but tens of thousands of children in Cleveland aren’t eating this important meal. Research shows that healthy students are better students; however, too many kids are showing up to school hungry and unprepared to learn. In an effort to increase access to breakfast for all students, the American Dairy Association Mideast and the Cleveland Browns, through Fuel Up to Play 60, are encouraging kids to eat breakfast at school every day.
