What I liked best about this format for presenting information was the «360 degree»
perspective it offered: Casey gave the
issue a framework, with useful advice
on how to persuade principals and administrators to implement in - classroom breakfast programs; Nora followed, sharing her personal story with using free / reduced programs when her children were young, and stressing the importance of taking care of «the whole child»; Rosario charmed the crowd with her experiences implementing in - classroom breakfast in her district, sharing a story about how excited her kids
got about breakfast after a power outage — not how excited they were about the return of electricity, but about
getting breakfast; Barry inspired the group by explaining how he took his successes as a school food director as a springboard to a
new career as a consultant, replicating and spreading that success in other classrooms.
Over the last few months, though, there have been a number of
new papers
on this connection that provide some interesting
perspective on the
issue which will certainly continue as the CMIP5 models start to
get analysed.
