2022Beverly Hills, CA, August 19, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Epicure Digital, a leader in MyPlate signage solutions for K12 school food services Introduces new MyPlate Dry Erase Menu Boards to Help the Marketing of School Breakfast and School Lunch in K12 schools.
Increasing School Lunch and School Breakfast participation has become a major target for school Food Services with the introduction of the new healthier School Menu.
The decline in School Lunch participation since the inception of the new and healthier meal program, has become a major concern for schools, and many schools started spending more and more marketing dollars to market the new healthier meal program to stop this decline in participation.
USDA research indicates that children who participate in the National School Lunch Program have superior nutritional intakes compared to those who bring lunch from home or otherwise do not participate.
Compared with those who ate breakfast, students who skipped the morning meal had 7% slower power of attention, a measure of their ability to focus and avoid distraction. They also detected 7% fewer targets on target-detection tasks and correctly identified 9% fewer pictures on a picture-recognition test at a 9% slower speed than students who ate breakfast. Variability in response time, an indication of focusing consistency, was 10% more erratic in those who missed breakfast. Girls without breakfast were significantly more disrupted in their ability to focus than boys who didn't have.
Out of over 55 million K12 students in the US, the average daily school lunch participation is about 30 million and the daily school breakfast participation is about 13 million; the potential for school food service’s marketing effort to increase participation is huge.
Only about a third of School Lunch participants, participate in the School Breakfast program. School Lunch participants that are not participating in the School Breakfast program are a captive audience for marketing efforts to increase School Breakfast participation.
