Metedith Bird Miller

As a retired educator with more than 25 years in service to students grades K-8, and as an informed citizen who keeps up with peer-reviewed scientific research. I have learned that students require nutrition to support the energy required to think, learn, develop physically, and to sustain health. We devote great financial support to the education of our state’s children in our schools, and for that support to accomplish our goals, our students require 3 nutritious meals daily plus nutritious snacks and plenty of water. It is wasteful not to provide a free meal a day to our NH students. Therefore, I support this bill.
