Governor Steve Bullock and First Lady Lisa Bullock today announced nearly $28,000 in private grant funding to implement the Breakfast After the Bell program in an additional eight Montana schools.

“Starting the school day with a nutritional breakfast allows students to focus on learning without being distracted by hunger,” Governor Bullock said. “I’m thrilled to see additional schools take advantage of Breakfast After the Bell and support students in becoming healthier, performing better in their classroom, and having fewer disciplinary problems.”
