School Nutrition

 Milk is an important part of school breakfast and lunch programs. But, it is only nutritious if the students drink it! Make sure that school milk is kept cold, merchandised well and tastes great. We've got the resources you need to ensure that all students get the essential nutrients they need!

New Look of School Milk Serving milk in attractive, kid-friendly packaging is a great way to make this healthy choice a more desirable choice- while boosting meal participation! Students prefer the look and taste of school milk served in resealable (and recyclable!) milk bottles. New England Dairy & Food Council offers technical and financial support to schools looking to make the switch!

School Milk Milk – whether white or flavored – plays a vital role in helping Americans, especially children, meet needs for critical nutrients of concern as identified in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Flavored milk enables schools to address the nutrient, taste and health needs of the students they serve. Learn more about the importance of offering nutrient-rich flavored milk as a choice in your school's cafeteria!

Expanding Breakfast Expanding breakfast is about finding creative ways to serve this important morning meal to make it convenient for students and families! Breakfast is essential for good health and academic achievement. Use our resources to boost participation at your school!

Equipment Marketing and promoting healthy options is a fun and effective way to encourage students to make better choices. Purchasing equipment that will help increase the appeal of these healthy foods is a great investment and can be supported with funds from the Fuel Up to Play 60 program. Whether you want to focus on point-of-sale, cafeteria restyle, or bringing on breakfast, we can help!
