The breakfast program was implemented at LES in 2016, followed by the High School, Early Childhood Center and Primary School in 2017. It was also added to the Intermediate and Middle Schools at the start of the 2018-19 school year.
The mission of the Ohio School Breakfast Challenge is to increase and sustain student participation in the School Breakfast Program, ensuring that Ohio students start each day ready to learn.
