New Look of School Milk

It's time to look at school milk differently. Imagine milk in easy-to-open plastic bottles, served ice-cold, and offered in a variety of flavors; milk visibly displayed and available on the meal line as well as other locations throughout school such as in vending machines. This is The New Look of School Milk (NLSM) and the results in Maine have been very exciting showing increases in milk sales and meal participation.

Expand Your Breakfast Program

Breakfast=Achievement

Approximately 44% of Maine schoolchildren that eat school lunch, also eat school breakfast.  Looking to boost participation? Consider implementing a non-traditional breakfast program and reap the positive benefits. Foodservice directors across the country are seeing their breakfast programs grow by taking breakfast to the classroom, offering a grab 'n go breakfast from the front hall and offering breakfast after first period.

Determine what percent of students you can feed at no charge and break even with our Breakfast In the Classroom Feasibility Worksheet.
