Your stories, answering calls to action, and public support has paid off! Breakfast after the bell was signed into law by Gov. Inslee on Wednesday! Starting in the 2019-2020 school year, Washington’s high-need schools will make breakfast a part of the school day. This will increase access to a nutritious school breakfast for children in low-income families, helping them get the fuel they need to focus on learning.
Take Action!
Please take a moment to contact your legislators to show your support for the new law!
