The Story
| Schedule | ||
| 7:10 a.m. Breakfast | ||
 Academy
Prep provides a healthful breakfast each morning, so each day begins
with breakfast at school. Students learn that eating a good breakfast
is important because it gives the body the fuel it needs to start
the day and helps the mind to focus on the important work ahead. |
