Our goal is to support Indiana educators in the classroom and help students benefit from funds available for good nutritional habits.

 2008 Expanding Breakfast Grants

The benefits children receive from eating breakfast are numerous and well documented. Eating breakfast yields better student test scores, increases concentration and attendance and decreases disciplinary problems just to name a few. Many schools recognize this opportunity and offer breakfast in the cafeteria. But there's even a better way to bring breakfast to your students - using alternate breakfast service options. Three Expanding Breakfast grants are being offered through the Dairy & Nutrition Council of Indiana, Inc. Each of the three winning Indiana schools/districts will receive $2,500 for successfully implementing an alternate breakfast serving method. To apply for a grant, complete the application and return to Mary Nicholson at the Indianapolis office of the Dairy & Nutrition Council. All information you need is included on the application form. If you have any questions call Mary at 800-225-6455. Better hurry! Applications must be received by May 15, 2008 to qualify.
