Seattle Schools Feed Every Student | Seattle News

0:00Seattle Public Schools is rolling out a program that gives every single student a free breakfast and lunch every school day. This is a big deal, a partnership between the school district and the city to make sure no kid goes hungry during school hours. They're holding a press conference to talk about it, highlighting how this expands access to meals for everyone. The goal is to boost nutrition and get kids excited about what they're eating. They're even bringing in student feedback to help shape new recipes, making sure the food is not just healthy, but also something students actually want to eat. It's about creating a better meal program from the ground up. This initiative is more than just free food. It's about ensuring students have the fuel they need to focus and learn. Officials will also be talking about the importance of families filling out certain applications, even though the meals are free for everyone, to help. Secure further funding and resources for the program. They're also planning a food demonstration and taste tests right after the press conference where students can try out some of these new menu ideas.
