Implementing a Grab-N-Go breakfast program is easier with Cambro’s Flex Station. Kids no longer need to walk to the cafeteria to get breakfast, the Flex Station comes to them! K-12 schools can reach participation goals and encourage kids to eat a healthy breakfast with these three ideas:
-
Allow Kids to Eat Inside the Classroom
Until recently, eating in the classroom has been largely discouraged or reserved for special occasions, but schools are learning that changing the rules may be in their best interest. Many schools have tested putting Grab-N-Go stations at key locations throughout the school and drop-off areas for kids to easily grab on their way into class. According to a study by No Kid Hungry, schools reached 63 percent breakfast participation on average by allowing students to eat in their classroom before and after the bell had rung. Schools saw even more participation, 88 percent to be exact, when Grab-N-Go carts were brought directly to the classroom.

Offer Second Chance Breakfast
Many kids aren’t hungry right when they get to school, but by the end of first period they’re starving and full of food regrets! Some schools have begun offering a second chance for kids to get breakfast between first and second period. Grab-N-Go Flex Stations are easily positioned in the highest traffic hallways and breezeways for kids to easily grab something to eat before their next class. Schools that participated in No Kid Hungry’s study found their breakfast participation rose to 70 percent when adding this option.
Cambro GoBag Delivery Bags are ideal for the quick and easy transport of breakfast foods and drinks. Keep items cold or warm while easily carrying through hallways and into classrooms.
