The pressure is on for schools. Balancing the desire to offer healthier lunchroom options that kids will choose with the need to stay within a tight budget is no easy task.
This is especially important now, since concern about children's nutrition is a high priority. While every school is different, studies show that choosing the right program for your school can significantly increase milk consumption and improve financial performance. And the good news is that even a small change in how milk is offered or promoted can make a big impact on students' choices.
