Rotary Club of Sackville and Area is pleased to support Sackville High School Breakfast Program once again this year.  On average, 70 to 80 students drop by for nutritious breakfast foods each morning on their way to class.  Friday is hot breakfast day, but the cold food days sounded yummy, too!  In addition to staples like fruit and yogurt, they regularly have homemade items like muffins, granola bars and breakfast brownies.
