Hot breakfast boosts attendance at Fort Good Hope school – Cabin Radio
May 13, 2025
Fort Good Hope’s Jaydon Kakfwi is three weeks into his new role leading Chief T’Selehye School’s breakfast program.
Kakfwi, a former student at the school, preps food for roughly 20 to 40 students daily. Items on the new menu include smoothies, cereal, toasts, eggs, hash browns and bacon – an upgrade from the usual Cheerios and a slice of toast.
“The kids are looking forward to coming to school,” he told Cabin Radio, pointing out a noticeable difference in students’ attendance since he took up the position.
“I’m just another rez kid, just like them,” he said. “We are slowly getting more interest from the kids since I came in here and started making a variety of different breakfasts, which increases their chances of coming to school in the morning and they look forward to the snacks.”
