Now in its 20th year, the breakfast honors students who exemplify Lindy Pride at the middle school level. Students are nominated by teachers for a variety of reasons and are recognized publically in front of proud parents, teachers and peers during the event held at the Lindencrest Diner. With proud parents and teachers looking on, students received their certificates of Merit from Principal Frank Naccarato.

During the February celebration, Principal Linda Domanico of Daniel Street Elementary School informed the students that she and the other elementary school principals knew that they were champions when they were at the elementary level and encouraged them to continue to be champions at the high school level.
