New England Dairy & Food Council
(NEDFC) is now accepting applications for the 2008
Expanding Breakfast Awards. 1st place ($5,000), 2nd
place ($2,000) and 3rd place ($1,000) awards will
be given to three schools/districts in CT, MA, NH,
RI & VT in recognition of their outstanding expanding
breakfast programs.
Expanding breakfast programs go beyond
traditional school breakfast programs by bringing
breakfast to the students. Serving breakfast in the
classroom, grab & go, after 1st period or on the
bus schools can lessen the potential social stigma
associated with school breakfast and increase participation.
Schools that are interested in applying
for the NEDFC 2008 Expanding Breakfast awards are
encouraged to do so using our electronic
survey application. (The application link is a
pop-up so you will need to turn off your pop-up blocker
before you can access the application.) It would be
helpful to gather all the necessary information to
complete the application process prior to beginning
the online survey. Downloading the hardcopy
application will provide you with all the necessary
information to gather. The hardcopy application may
also be submitted via mail, fax, or e-mail.
