Molina Celebrates National School Breakfast Week in Picayune

03/10/2019

​In celebration of National School Breakfast Week, Molina Healthcare of Mississippi hosted a nutritious breakfast for more than 80 kids at Picayune Early Head Start. They received “breakfast bags” that included fruit and a toothbrush to emphasize dental hygiene. Additionally, Molina staff spoke to the children about the importance of eating well-balanced meals and establishing health habits early on.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a healthy breakfast can improve students’ moods, reduce absenteeism in school and strengthen cognitive abilities, especially memory.​​​
