Coronado Offering Free Breakfast for all StudentsBy Madi Cooper Since September 8th, all students at Coronado are welcome to come in before school and treat themselves to a free breakfast. At the beginning of this year, Coronado was declared as a “Title 1” school. To be eligible for these monies and to be called a “Title 1” school, over 60% of the students must have applied for the reduced or free lunch program. According to Mr. Biera, at a “Title 1” school, the Federal Government funds school expenses such as breakfast, school supplies, tutoring, and help for training teachers. Commenting on the free breakfast, CHS Cafeteria Manager Kathy Mutschler is extremely excited about this program, hoping it will bring students on campus earlier to ultimately help them graduate. According to Mrs. Mutschler, the cafeteria will be selling food such as honey buns, cereal, bagels, hot sandwiches and a variety of other foods in the morning as well as fresh fruit. The cafeteria tries to have one special food item every morning such as a pancake corndog or a ham sandwich and once it gets colder she’ll be serving oatmeal and hot chocolate. The cafeteria ladies are also attempting to make banana bread. However, students can’t just pile up all the food they want. They can get a combo meal, which includes a main breakfast item, a side, such as fruit and a drink. “The free breakfast at CHS is great because in the morning I don’t have enough time at home to get breakfast,” added freshman Jake Goodman. “So instead of getting it at home I come to school and get some for free and not waste money.” |
