Students from Kimball Elementary School will be taking the D.C. Council a school breakfast on Tuesday. They’ll share the meal together at the Wilson Building to celebrate the District’s school breakfast program being ranked No. 1 in the nation in participation. The second annual School Breakfast Scorecard, released by the Food Research and Action Center, measures the reach of program. During the 2010-11 school year, 64 low-income D.C. children ate breakfast for every 100 who also ate lunch. That’s up from 48 out of 100 the previous school year. Much of the credit for the increase was given to the Healthy Schools Act of 2010, written by Councilwoman Mary Cheh.
