Chartwells, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools’ food service vendor, began serving breakfast in classrooms at Ephesus Elementary School on Feb. 15 as part of a pilot program.
The program at Ephesus Elementary changes the routine of serving breakfast in the cafeterias of all CHCCS schools by bringing the food to the classrooms. The usual cafeteria options for paying for meals still apply.
The program is based on research that shows eating breakfast can improve student health, achievement and attendance.
