¡Noticias emocionantes: Oportunidad adicional de desayuno para los estudiantes de RFJSHS! Nos complace anunciar que a partir del lunes 7 de febrero, los estudiantes de RFJSHS tendrán una segunda oportunidad para desayunar cada día. Un desayuno "Grab & Go" estará disponible para los estudiantes de secundaria durante el período de transición entre la 1ª y 2ª hora, el cual se ha extendido a 9 minutos para acomodar esta opción. El desayuno caliente tradicional seguirá sirviéndose antes de la primera campana cada mañana. El desayuno "Grab & Go" incluirá opciones convenientes y portátiles como muffins, panes para el desayuno, una opción de proteína (como queso), fruta y jugo o leche. Por favor, tenga en cuenta: Los estudiantes solo pueden recibir un desayuno por día. Aquellos que ya hayan comido el desayuno caliente no serán elegibles para el desayuno "Grab & Go", pero pueden tomar una pieza de fruta. Esperamos que esta opción adicional de desayuno ayude a garantizar que todos los estudiantes tengan la oportunidad de comenzar su día con la nutrición que necesitan. Adjunto encontrarán el horario actualizado que refleja el período de transición extendido para el desayuno "Grab & Go".
