If You Eat Breakfast, You May Win a Bike

William Matheny found out in a good way some of the hidden benefits of eating breakfast at school.  Everyone knows about the nutrition and satisfaction in a good breakfast, but few people know that you could also win a bicycle.  William, who is a kindergarten student at Goshen Elementary School, ate breakfast at school every day during the annual National School Breakfast Week, celebrated during the week of March 12-15 at the school.  His name was entered into the drawing each day for a brand new bicycle furnished  by the Child Nutrition Program at the district.  William didn't expect to win--in fact he didn't even know there was a contest.  But when he found out that he was selected for the bike, he was a pretty happy boy.  With training wheels in place, school head custodian Carwynn Carter helped him to ride a "victory lap" through the halls of the school.  Mr. Carter became his bike trainer and coach as William claimed he had never ridden a bike before.  William is pictured on his bike for the first time with lunch clerk Debbie Hudson (left) and lunch manager Donna Woodland proudly watching his first ride in the cafeteria.
