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. 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. This bill would change that, for my family and thousands of others. I saw that you've signed on to AB 156, and I wanted you to hear from a constituent that it matters. Thank you. My ask now is simple: talk to your colleagues who haven't joined yet. Your voice carries weight with them that mine doesn't.

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. Kids who eat breakfast at school perform measurably better on math and reading assessments, and the gains are largest for the students furthest behind. This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools. I'm asking you to add your name as a cosponsor. Early support is what carries a bill like this through the session, and I'd be proud to see your name on it.

I recently retired after 26 years as an elementary school principal in 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. 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. I'm writing to ask you to cosponsor AB 156. Cosponsorship isn't a symbolic gesture — it tells the committee this bill has real support behind it. Nevada families like mine are watching, hopeful.

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. Teachers across Nevada report spending their own money on food for hungry students — a quiet subsidy that shows up in no budget line anywhere. This bill would change that, for my family and thousands of others. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools.

I'm a pediatrician who has practiced in Las Vegas 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.

I drive a school bus in Mesquite, first route at 6:40 in the morning. You learn a lot about kids from the bus.

I'm a school nurse at a middle school here in Reno. 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 own a small diner in Henderson and employ nine people. Three of my employees are parents working split shifts, and I hear what their mornings look like.

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.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in Spring Valley. We're on a fixed income, and the last week of every month gets thin.

I volunteer at our food bank's school pantry program in Reno. 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.

This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools. I'm asking you to add your name as a cosponsor. Early support is what carries a bill like this through the session, and I'd be proud to see your name on it.

I own a small diner in Fernley 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. Roughly one in six Nevada children lives in a household that struggles to reliably put food on the table. This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. I'm writing to ask you to cosponsor AB 156. Cosponsorship isn't a symbolic gesture — it tells the committee this bill has real support behind it. Nevada families like mine are watching, hopeful.

I recently retired after 26 years as an elementary school principal in Spring Valley. 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.

It doesn't have to be this way, and this session Nevada has the chance to prove it. I'm writing to ask you to cosponsor AB 156.

I'm a mother of three in Fallon, 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.

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.

I work in the cafeteria at an elementary school in Reno. 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.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in Sparks. 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.

I'm a school nurse at a middle school here in North 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.

Nevada families like mine are watching, hopeful.

I drive a school bus in Pahrump, 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. 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 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.

I've taught fourth grade in Pahrump 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. 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, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools. I'm asking you to add your name as a cosponsor. Early support is what carries a bill like this through the session, and I'd be proud to see your name on it.

I'm the PTA president at our elementary school in North Las Vegas. 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.

I volunteer at our food bank's school pantry program in North Las Vegas. 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.

My ask now is simple: talk to your colleagues who haven't joined yet. Your voice carries weight with them that mine doesn't.

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. 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. That's why AB 156 matters so much to me. Thank you for cosponsoring AB 156 — genuinely. Decisions like that are why I tell my neighbors it's worth engaging with Carson City at all. Please keep pushing to get it a strong hearing and a floor vote this session.

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. Feeding kids breakfast is about the cheapest economic development policy Nevada could buy. Roughly one in six Nevada children lives in a household that struggles to reliably put food on the table. This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. I'm writing to ask you to cosponsor AB 156.

I'm a school nurse at a middle school here in Henderson. 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. 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 recently retired after 26 years as an elementary school principal in Las Vegas.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in Henderson. We're on a fixed income, and the last week of every month gets thin.

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. 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 bill would change that, for my family and thousands of others. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools. I'm asking you to add your name as a cosponsor. Early support is what carries a bill like this through the session, and I'd be proud to see your name on it.

I own a small diner in Henderson 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. Kids who eat breakfast at school perform measurably better on math and reading assessments, and the gains are largest for the students furthest behind. It doesn't have to be this way, and this session Nevada has the chance to prove it. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools.

My ask now is simple: talk to your colleagues who haven't joined yet. Your voice carries weight with them that mine doesn't.

I'm a mother of three in Carson City, 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. 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. I'm writing to ask you to cosponsor AB 156.

I'm a school nurse at a middle school here in North 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. 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.

Decisions like that are why I tell my neighbors it's worth engaging with Carson City at all. Please keep pushing to get it a strong hearing and a floor vote this session.

I work in the cafeteria at an elementary school in Fallon. 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.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in Boulder City. 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.

I drive a school bus in Reno, first route at 6:40 in the morning. You learn a lot about kids from the bus.

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. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools. I'm asking you to add your name as a cosponsor. Early support is what carries a bill like this through the session, and I'd be proud to see your name on it.

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. 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.

I'm a high school senior in Henderson, 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. 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 bill would change that, for my family and thousands of others. AB 156, the Breakfast for Every Nevada Student Act, would make free school breakfast universal in our K-12 schools.

My husband and I are raising our two grandkids in North 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.

I drive a school bus in Reno, 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. 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. This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. I saw that you've signed on to AB 156, and I wanted you to hear from a constituent that it matters. Thank you. My ask now is simple: talk to your colleagues who haven't joined yet. Your voice carries weight with them that mine doesn't.

I volunteer at our food bank's school pantry program in Las Vegas. 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. 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. This is a solvable problem, and the solution is sitting in front of the legislature right now. Thank you for cosponsoring AB 156 — genuinely. Decisions like that are why I tell my neighbors it's worth engaging with Carson City at all. Please keep pushing to get it a strong hearing and a floor vote this session.

I'm a high school senior in Spring Valley, 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 Henderson 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 own a small diner in North 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 work in the cafeteria at an elementary school in Carson City. 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.

I'm the PTA president at our elementary school in Fernley. 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.
