School Lunch - How Other Countries Feed Their Children

There is no stigma in how school meals are provided each day 
None of us should feel shame when we need something to eat. Children are so sensitive to being different that shame or embarrassment often prevents them from accepting help. Universal school meals provide food to those who need it most…without the perceived stigma of a “hand-out.”To make broad participation possible, the Columbus Elementary School in Medford worked with Project Bread and other local organizations to adopt a simple “Breakfast in the Classroom” pilot program as an eat-in-classroom solution…a shift that makes it much easier for children to be part of the crowd and enjoy their breakfast.
