The BIC program returns to Kester this year and provides every student a no-charge option to eat breakfast at school. Seating will be available outside of the classroom after the morning bell. Breakfast lasts for approximately 20 minutes and students are always free to decline if they wish. Students who arrive after this time period will not have an opportunity to eat in the classroom.
