Coming Soon: 101 Ways to Increase Participation

We all want to increase participation in the lunchroom, right? Well, we want to help!

You may have seen some of our resources in the past, including white papers and the Meals Plus Customer Cookbooks. In the past two years, we have collected our customers’ most popular lunchroom recipes and compiled them into a complete child nutrition cookbook. Similarly, we want to collect all the ways you increase participation in your lunchrooms to create an encyclopedia of ways to promote your program!

Share anything you’re doing in your cafeterias, no matter how big or small, and we’ll include them in our latest white paper, “101 Ways to Increase Participation.” Do you use a lunchroom mascot, like Graham, that the students enjoy seeing in the lunchline? Do you write motivational messages on your banana peels? Maybe you have fun with naming your dishes, and you renamed your side of cucumbers to the “Cool as a Cucumber Coins” and students responded to the catchy name.

Let’s show the entire child nutrition industry how successful Meals Plus customers are, and shine a spotlight on your department’s successful promotions. And you’ll get to learn new tips from other Meals Plus customers!

We’ll be accepting your submissions until June 9, 2017, and the white paper will be available to download this summer-just in time for the 2017-2018 school year. If you’d like to include photos of your promotions, we will also include those in the white paper. Email your submissions to the Meals Plus Child Nutrition Operations Consultant, Cynthia Sevier, SNS.

Thank you for being a part of the Meals Plus Family!
