Welcome!
The decision you’ve made to start a Breakfast After the Bell program may be one of the best things you will ever do for your students. You are not only setting them on the road to a more successful academic experience and better health, but you are helping establish good nutrition habits that they will carry with them beyond their school days. We salute you, and your students will thank you.
On this flash drive you’ll find:
Media release templates that you can use to let your local media know of your new breakfast program. The templates are MSWord documents so you should have no trouble inserting your school name and program particulars.
Breakfast After the Bell: An Everyday Part of Learning video can be used to acquaint school board members, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce members and others about the importance of school breakfast and the benefit it is to your students and your school’s budget.
Social Media templates provide you with message you can put out over your social media channels to let students, parents and others know that you’re offering breakfast as part of the school day. Social media is a great way to boost the visibility of your school breakfast program and gain support from members of the community.
Poster templates will help you put the word out around school that Breakfast After the Bell is coming and let students know how they can participate.
Resources You Can Useincludes links to the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance breakfast program webpage as well as to the Share Our Strength Center for Best Practices website that has additional marketing tools and resources you might find helpful.
As you begin your Breakfast After the Bell program, I encourage you to stay in touch with me. If you have questions, issues or unexpected successes, I hope you will call me so I can lend a helpful hand or learn about a new experience that I can share with others who will be starting alternative programs in the future.
Best,
