I'm a mother of three in Reno, and two of my kids are at our neighborhood elementary school. Mornings in our house are a sprint. I leave for my shift at 6:15, before the kids are even up, and there are days when I honestly don't know whether breakfast happened. When their school piloted free breakfast for one semester, my middle son's teacher told me she could tell the difference in his focus by the second week. That semester ended, and so did the program. Roughly one in six Nevada children lives in a household that struggles to reliably put food on the table. This bill would change that, for my family and thousands of others. When AB 156 comes up for a floor vote this week, please vote yes. I've followed this bill since it was introduced, and I'll be following the roll call too.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in Winnemucca. We're on a fixed income, and the last week of every month gets thin. I grew up believing you don't ask for help, so it took me a long time to admit that the school breakfast program the next county over would have made a real difference for us. Pride shouldn't be the reason a seven-year-old starts class hungry. When breakfast is universal instead of means-tested, participation among eligible low-income kids jumps dramatically, because the stigma of the "free breakfast line" disappears. That's why AB 156 matters so much to me. When AB 156 comes up for a floor vote this week, please vote yes. I've followed this bill since it was introduced, and I'll be following the roll call too.

I work in the cafeteria at an elementary school in Las Vegas. I'm the one who sees which kids hover near the line at breakfast but don't come through it, because the reduced-price paperwork didn't get filed or because they don't want the other kids to see. When breakfast is free for everyone, that shame disappears overnight. I've watched it happen. The line just becomes the line. Teachers across Nevada report spending their own money on food for hungry students — a quiet subsidy that shows up in no budget line anywhere. That's why AB 156 matters so much to me.

I'm the PTA president at our elementary school in Spring Valley. Last year our PTA ran a weekend backpack food program for 40 families. The need we found once we started asking was double what we'd planned for, and we're volunteers with a bake-sale budget. We patched what we could. It shouldn't take a bake sale to make sure kids in our state can eat before class. Schools that adopt universal breakfast consistently report better attendance and fewer visits to the nurse's office — the research on this is about as settled as education research gets. It doesn't have to be this way, and this session Nevada has the chance to prove it. When AB 156 comes up for a floor vote this week, please vote yes.

I've taught fourth grade in Reno for eleven years. I keep a drawer of granola bars in my classroom because I know which of my students come in hungry, and I know Mondays are the worst because some of them haven't had a real meal since Friday's school lunch. I spend a few hundred dollars of my own money on that drawer every year. I love my students, but a drawer of granola bars is not a nutrition policy.

I'm a pediatrician who has practiced in Mesquite for nearly two decades. I see the downstream effects of childhood food insecurity in my exam rooms every single week: kids with headaches and fatigue that have no medical cause beyond an empty stomach, families juggling rent against groceries. Universal school breakfast is one of the few interventions where the evidence is genuinely unambiguous.

I drive a school bus in Las Vegas, first route at 6:40 in the morning. You learn a lot about kids from the bus. The ones who get on quiet and put their heads against the window aren't sleepy, half the time — they're hungry, and they'll tell you so if you ask gently. I started keeping a box of breakfast bars up front years ago. Nobody asked me to. Somebody had to. Schools that adopt universal breakfast consistently report better attendance and fewer visits to the nurse's office — the research on this is about as settled as education research gets.

I own a small diner in Las Vegas and employ nine people. Three of my employees are parents working split shifts, and I hear what their mornings look like. I also know what it does to a business when the local schools struggle — families move, the neighborhood hollows out.

I recently retired after 26 years as an elementary school principal in North Las Vegas. If you gave me one lever to raise attendance, cut morning discipline referrals, and improve test scores at a struggling school, I would pick universal breakfast without hesitating — because I ran that experiment myself with grant funding for two years, and I watched every one of those numbers move.

I'm a high school senior in Reno, and I have a little brother in second grade. My parents both work early, so getting my brother ready for school is my job. Most mornings we do fine.

I volunteer at our food bank's school pantry program in Henderson. Every Friday we pack weekend bags, and every Friday I'm struck that most of the parents picking them up are working — some at two jobs. The math of feeding a family here just doesn't work for a lot of households anymore. School breakfast is the one meal we could simply take off their list of impossible choices.

I'm a school nurse at a middle school here in Las Vegas. The kids who show up in my office at 9:30 with a "stomachache" are, more often than anyone wants to admit, just hungry. I can spot it within a minute of talking to them. I keep crackers on hand, send them back to class, and log another visit that never should have happened. The pattern is so predictable it hurts.

The ones who get on quiet and put their heads against the window aren't sleepy, half the time — they're hungry, and they'll tell you so if you ask gently. I started keeping a box of breakfast bars up front years ago. Nobody asked me to. Somebody had to. Roughly one in six Nevada children lives in a household that struggles to reliably put food on the table. This bill would change that, for my family and thousands of others. AB 156 has cleared committee and is coming to the Assembly floor. I'm asking for your yes vote.

I own a small diner in Carson City and employ nine people. Three of my employees are parents working split shifts, and I hear what their mornings look like. I also know what it does to a business when the local schools struggle — families move, the neighborhood hollows out. Feeding kids breakfast is about the cheapest economic development policy Nevada could buy. When breakfast is universal instead of means-tested, participation among eligible low-income kids jumps dramatically, because the stigma of the "free breakfast line" disappears.

It doesn't have to be this way, and this session Nevada has the chance to prove it. When AB 156 comes up for a floor vote this week, please vote yes.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in Las Vegas. We're on a fixed income, and the last week of every month gets thin. I grew up believing you don't ask for help, so it took me a long time to admit that the school breakfast program the next county over would have made a real difference for us. Pride shouldn't be the reason a seven-year-old starts class hungry. Schools that adopt universal breakfast consistently report better attendance and fewer visits to the nurse's office — the research on this is about as settled as education research gets. This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. When AB 156 comes up for a floor vote this week, please vote yes.

I'm a school nurse at a middle school here in Fallon. The kids who show up in my office at 9:30 with a "stomachache" are, more often than anyone wants to admit, just hungry. I can spot it within a minute of talking to them. I keep crackers on hand, send them back to class, and log another visit that never should have happened. The pattern is so predictable it hurts.

I'm a high school senior in Las Vegas, and I have a little brother in second grade. My parents both work early, so getting my brother ready for school is my job. Most mornings we do fine. But I'm seventeen and I'm the breakfast plan, and on the mornings when we're out of cereal or out of time, he goes to school with nothing and I sit in my first-period class thinking about it instead of the lesson. Kids who eat breakfast at school perform measurably better on math and reading assessments, and the gains are largest for the students furthest behind.

I've taught fourth grade in Sparks for eleven years. I keep a drawer of granola bars in my classroom because I know which of my students come in hungry, and I know Mondays are the worst because some of them haven't had a real meal since Friday's school lunch. I spend a few hundred dollars of my own money on that drawer every year. I love my students, but a drawer of granola bars is not a nutrition policy. Teachers across Nevada report spending their own money on food for hungry students — a quiet subsidy that shows up in no budget line anywhere.

I work in the cafeteria at an elementary school in Spring Valley. I'm the one who sees which kids hover near the line at breakfast but don't come through it, because the reduced-price paperwork didn't get filed or because they don't want the other kids to see. When breakfast is free for everyone, that shame disappears overnight. I've watched it happen. The line just becomes the line. Roughly one in six Nevada children lives in a household that struggles to reliably put food on the table. That's why AB 156 matters so much to me.
