Making the Most of Breakfast with BATB
▪ Most successful strategy for increasing school
breakfast participation
▪ Overcomes timing, convenience and stigma
▪ Even more impactful when combined with CEP or
other universal free program
▪ Generally three options when serving BATB
▪ Think: free meals + increased access = higher
participation

Breakfast in the
Classroom
▪ Staff packs breakfasts into
coolers or insulated bags to
be transported to each
classroom
▪ Students eat during the first
10–15 minutes of class during
morning announcements or
attendance
▪ Ideal for lower-grade levels
where children start the day in
the same classroom with the
same teacher each day
Grab and Go
• Staff packs breakfast meals in
bags to be picked up from the
cafeteria or kiosks in the hallway
on the way to class.
• Students pick up breakfast as
they arrive at school and eat on
the way to class or at their desks
after the bell during the first 10–
15 minutes of class.
• Works well for schools that don’t
have capacity to deliver food to
each classroom.
Second Chance
Breakfast
▪ Breakfast is provided after
1st period/ homeroom
▪ Similar to grab and go,
meals are served from
cafeteria or carts located in
the hallway
▪ Works well in middle and
high schools
