2 Introduction letter DEAR PARENT, Your child will be learning about the benefits of breakfast and daily physical activity in class. These fun and exciting lessons are part of Think Breakfast!, an important nutrition, health, and educational initiative for schools. As we all heard, eating the right kind of food for breakfast can help children have more energy and attention in and outside the classroom. Parents play an important role in helping children develop healthy eating habits, especially in the morning. It has been shown that eating together can increase the likelihood of children eating breakfast. As role models, it is important parents set a positive example. A nutritious breakfast at home can provide your child with the healthy fuel needed to do well in school and in other activities. Also, many schools have a variety of breakfast options to help fuel your child for the day. We encourage you to remind your child to eat breakfast each day, either at school or at home. Thank you for supporting this important initiative. SINCERELY, Paula Tyner-Doyle NYS Education Department Child Nutrition Program Administration QUERIDA MADRE O QUERIDO PADRE: Su hijo/hija aprenderá sobre los beneficios de un buen desayuno y la actividad física en clase. Estas divertidas lecciones son parte de Think Breakfast!, un importante iniciativa de nutrición, salud y educación para las escuelas. Como todos hemos oído, un desayuno saludable puede ayudar a que su hijo/a tenga más energía y capacidad de atención dentro y fuera del aula. Los padres juegan un gran papel ayudándole a desarrollar un patrón saludable de buena alimentación por las mañanas. Se ha demostrado que comiendo juntos puede aumentar las probabilidades de que su hijo/a desayune, y como padre y modelo a seguir, es importante dar un buen ejemplo. Un desayuno nutritivo en casa puede proveer a su hijo/a la energía saludable que necesita para hacer bien en la escuela y en otras actividades. Su escuela también tiene opciones de desayuno saludables para proveer energía a su hijo/a para el dia. Le recomendamos que recuerde a su hijo que desayune cada día, aunque sea en la escuela o en la casa. Gracias por soportar esta importante iniciativa. SINCERAMENTE, Paula Tyner-Doyle NYS Education Department Child Nutrition Program Administration page 2
