Norwalk’s involvement in a pilot program coordinated by Whitsons Culinary Group to provide a wider array of meal options means students in the elementary schools can now get a hot breakfast in the morning.
Elementary students can get the usual box of cereal and other items that have traditionally been made available, but through this new federally funded nutrition program they can alternatively get a hot egg and cheese or sausage and egg biscuit.

According to a report in The Hour of Norwalk, the number of students eating breakfast in Brookside, Tracey, Kendall, Wolfpit, Marvin and Naramake elementary schools has risen by about 25 percent since the program was introduced in October.
The addition of the hot breakfast sandwiches brings the elementary schools’ morning menu more in line with those of the middle and high schools, according to the report.
