good morn g ing to you. looking live at the golden gate bridge shrouded in fog this morning, but it should be a lovely day for whatever you have planned to get your labor day weekend kicked off. it is breakfast time right now, but during the school year, of course, the kids have breakfast, and any have to eat a little bit faster, and there is a big push, because recent studies show that breakfast is the most important

meal of the day. it is a precursor to student success research surveys show. dr. wendy bazillean of the super foods diet and dietician is joining us. you say that the schools are pushing harder to get the kids to eat breakfast. >> based on the research, you are absolutely right. research has shown that eating breakfast is a precursor to student success, increases punctuality and performance and math grades improve according to research, so schools are getting creative and school breakfast is on the rise. nationwide government data showed that participation rose 2.5%, and 340,000 more kids participating in the school breakfast, and here in california 60,000 more par the t -- participants in the school breakfast. >> is it possible that the options have changed and the parents feel more comfortable with what is being served up,

and that the kids might be, you know, more likely the eat it? >> well, it is a combination, because i think that first of all the families are busy as you well know and i well know and getting out of the door in morning is all good intentions, but sometimes the kids are not hungry yet or they need more sleep time or can't figure out what to do, but the schools are more creative and having varied option options. system of the middle schools and high schools are pushing carts around with brown bags and breakfasts in the classrooms are now offered and schools are getting involved. >> and this is is an option that might be on a typical school menu, and this is something that they might like to eat. >> absolutely. all of the ingredients of a good healthy breakfast, but it is appe appealing. you can pick it up with your hands. a egg sandwich paired with the milk which of course, offers all of that good nutrition. >> speaking of milk and got milk very active in making sure that

the kids get enough protein and all of the good stuff in milk, but also offering a way for schools to do the fund-raising. if you don't like the advertising campaign, we know that the schools can use more money, how how does that work? >> well, i partnered with got milk to share what they have done with the school districts across california. right now to encourage increased breakfast participation in the school, they are sponsoring a giveaway of over $60,000, so each school can participate in the districts that are represented and 21 districts in all by simply increasing participation in the first three weeks or just back to school, and first three weeks of school and giving away $3,000 to use as the school wishes. >> so whatever they need. >> technology, field trips, whatever. you name it to encourage and support what we know. milk is portable, easy, and has three of the four nutrients of concern in the dietary guidelines. calcium, vitamin d and

potassium, and it is also a high quality of natural protein, and it gives a lot of protein. the fourth nutrient concern in the diet is fiber. so it is easy to pair it with the oatmeal serial. >> yes. >> and here is the fun way to go. this is a pb&j and adding some strawberries, because we get great berries here in california and an opportunity to build your own jam on the whole grain toast, and you can grab and go and bring it in the car as well. so portability is a big one for breakfast. >> i know. 5 and 7-year-old, and we try to rush. thank you, wendy, for coming in, and hopefully if you want to find out more for raising money for your kids' school or healthy breakfast go to gotmilk.com. rob mayeda is in the weather center, and do you want that milk nice and warm this morning or a cool milk kind of day? >> well, cool is going to sound cool, and maybe over some granola this morning. we are seeing the low clouds and

the chilly sea breeze over the bay area which will lead to the co cooler after noon. right now 50s and 60s and 62 in san jose, and the winds have picked up a little bit. fairfield southwest at 18 which is twice as much as yesterday at the same time and the wind coming out of the west into livermore. out to the a's game today, we will see the temperatures dropping through the 60s the game goes on. you can catch the game on comcast sportsnet at 6:00. and the cal football time taking on northwestern coming up at 7:30 this evening and temperatures the there, too, running through the 60s and the game as we look around the east bay with that and patches of low cloud clouds. that is subject to change now as we see two areas of weather coming together. first moisture coming out of south irn california which will bring the slight chance of mountain thunder and the system coming in from the west, and it will crank up the sea breeze, but adding the lift of moisture and give us a slight chance of showers later tomorrow. today, nothing to worry about

other than the low clouds and the fog and the mist on the coast and watch what happens into sunday morning here as you see the high clouds coming into southern california. and by sunday evening, some of the weather models are hinting some elevated con vvection is a fancy way to say mountain thunderstorms. into the north bay, perhaps showers there monday into the a day. so interesting time frame coming up late tomorrow, and as we go into monday. you will see that things do calm down into tuesday. out on the coast, 60 today from pacifica to half moon bay, and exception to the rule, over to santa cruz, more temperatures with the sunshine reaching the low 80s and nice day there. san jose, low 90s south of downtown, but the numbers are cooler today. 90 in livermore, and cooler elsewhere in the north bay. and 80s in the north bay, and 73 in oakland and san francisco.

looking at the three-day forecast, you can see that things are going to turn slightly unsettled as we see a chance of the isolated showers coming in, as we go into late tomorrow and into early monday now. so it is a little bit of a change in the forecast. the second half of the week, the temperatures will climb up, and the high pressure will build in, and i do think that we will get more 90s in the forecast, so this weekend sometimes called the unofficial end of summer, and not true. of course, we have to go to september 20th for the summer sol tis -- solstice to go into the equinox. >> okay. thank you very much, rob. go home and don't come back. on today in the bay, what sounds like a harsh message, but it is instead a message of love. coming up the group of nurses who inspire their patients through song. it is the latest in the bay area

proud series.

a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down is a lyric from a famous song, but did you know that song can be medicine in itself? some students in stanford found this out. >> every week moreen cowley has a standard appointment to sit for three hours or however long it takes that day for her chemotherapy drugs to go from bag to body and get to work getting rid of whatever may be left of the breast cancer. >> oh, yeah. >> moreen has been doing it for three week months now, and passing the time with friends, family or tv and just waiting for all of it to be over, which

it will be once this very last bag is empty. >> hey, nurses, can you meet me by bonnie's desk. >> and once chris tucker and the other nurses in the infusion treatment area have had their say. or should we say their song. ♪ the chemo's done and we're so excite excited for you ♪ ♪ hay now hay now ♪ the chemo's done >> for the past few years any patient who wants it and many do they get their own singing sendoff from the nursing staff. it began chris says three or four years ago with a patient having a rough go with the treatment. >> the one day she said to us, i just can't wait for this to be done, and when it is done, would you guys like sing for me. we said, sure. having no idea what in the world we were going to do. >> the differential is not back yet. >> reporter: with that request a tradition among the staff was born. and kres say chris says someti

will sing the song twice a day and light hearted moment to help the staff deal with an intense song, but over the years, chris has come to understand that the song does more. this is for you. this is for you. >> this musical bow goes to humanize what can be a dehumanizing experience. in tend, the patients and the nurses are all on the same team, and with this little song, two verses long, the 15 seconds in all, they get to celebrate a win and if all goes well -- >> you guys are the greatest. >> never see each other again. >> thank you so much. >> and that is garvin thomas reporting. and still ahead on "today in the bay." where is nelson mandela? conflicts reports that the former south african president is out of the hospital. and another live look at the bay bridge this morning where
