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.
