Bill Roberts implemented the following programs to earn the #1 “Touchdown School” title last year. This year? The possibilities are endless.
The Broncos even helped us celebrate our achievements at a March Assembly!
Breakfast On The Go
The implementation of the Middle School “Grab and Go” breakfast, sponsored in part by Western Dairy Association, has been a huge success. Before the program started, an average of 25 middle school students utilized the school’s free breakfast program. We now serve on average 58 middle school students a day.
After the Fuel Up to Play 60 Event we have seen an average of 66 students in the last 4 days eating breakfast.
Some of the breakfast items that the kids are really liking are:
We are hoping to get a cart and blender from the grant in the next few weeks. We will then introduce our new “Grab and Go Smoothie” which will come with a homemade muffin or homemade cinnamon roll and 18 oz smoothie. The blender can make on average 9-10 smoothies at a time.

Bill Roberts uses the SPARK Curriculum along with the LEAP Framework to provide a meaningful Physical Education and Dance program for all students.
SPARK Physical Education was designed to encourage maximum participation during class time. Active participation and practice in a positive, non-threatening atmosphere, help improve children’s physical skills, fitness, social development and personal enjoyment.
The curriculum is designed to introduce standards-based, developmentally appropriate activities without overwhelming students or teachers.
SPARK promotes quality, daily, physical education for ALL children. Bill Roberts provides 40-80 minutes of PE time per week, depending on the grade level needs.
