The Milk Lineup Toolkit
Everything you need to introduce new milk options to students and families, including posters, clings, stickers, social posts, communication templates and more.
With the recent USDA policy change bringing fuller-fat milk back to K-12 cafeterias, you have a great opportunity to give students more of what they want, without changing what makes school milk a smart choice.
To help you introduce the expanded lineup, Dairy MAX has put together the Milk Lineup Toolkit, a ready-to- use collection of student- and family-facing materials designed to make back-to-school rollout simple. This toolkit gives you the tools to build excitement around the new choices and help students and families feel confident about what’s showing up on the lunch tray.
BIC/Grab & Go Implementation Guide
Whether you’re launching a new breakfast program or growing participation, the Boost Your Breakfast Operational Toolkit helps school nutrition professionals build a plan that fits their campus.
Compare four service models: cafeteria, grab-and-go, breakfast in the classroom, and second-chance breakfast. Then get step-by-step guidance on menu planning, staffing, counting and claiming, equipment, costs, and marketing. Sample menus, a family communication template, implementation worksheets, and evaluation forms help you put your plan into action.
