I supervised a school lunchroom for 20+ years. It's pretty simple: kids can't learn on an empty stomach.

I supervised a school lunchroom for 20+ years. It’s pretty simple: kids can’t learn on an empty stomach.

That’s why I signed a bill making school meals free for Minnesota students, no questions asked.

Instead of banning books, let’s ban hunger. Happy National School Lunch Week!

I love that we do this Maine. Also, it makes it easier for parents because it is really hard to keep up the status of your kids account at school. I remember before the free meals my kid would eat breakfast at home, but then he would randomly eat breakfast at school too, which I wasn't expecting and I only gave him money for lunch.
