We recently partnered with McDonald’s of New Mexico and Dairy Producers of New Mexico to spread the word about the importance of a healthy breakfast – especially for students – by giving it away free!
Wednesday morning, Sept. 7, kids from kindergarten through eighth grade enjoyed a free breakfast when they stopped at a participating New Mexico McDonald’s location on their way to school.
Each breakfast featured an Egg McMuffin® (or Egg White Delight McMuffin®), apple slices and a personal-sized jug of low-fat milk. Other options included Minute Maid® Orange or Apple Juice.
A total of 93 McDonald’s locations participated in the giveaway event, which also included coupons and bag stuffers that teach parents and kids about the importance of a good breakfast with nutrient-packed dairy.
Check out some of the coverage of the event:

This is just the latest in Dairy MAX’s many initiatives to promote breakfast. We’re also a big supporter of programs that serve breakfast to kids in school. Research shows that school breakfast significantly improves students’ cognitive abilities and nutrient intake.
