    Books and breakfast (B&B) is a before school program that provides a healthy morning meal and homework help to evanston-skokie district 65 students in need of additional support. B&B builds strong relationships with teachers and parents, connects families to the larger school community, and acts as a bridge for families to additional evanston resources. There are over 750 elementary students in the district who qualify for free or reduced lunch but do not benefit from the title 1 funding or related school based supports. B7B is focused on leveling the playing field for students who need homework assistance and breakfast but may not get it. They will grow from 4 to 5 school sites in 2019-2020. Funding will be used to grow the program.
