McDonald’s Kicking Off School Year by Providing FREE BREAKFAST to all New Mexico K – 8th Graders and Teachers

By McDonalds

Participating New Mexico McDonald’s restaurants across the entire state will be providing FREE breakfast to K – 8th graders (children 15 & under accompanied by a parent/guardian) and teachers with their school I.D. the morning of September 5th ​with a choice of the Egg McMuffin or Egg White Delight McMuffin, Apple Slices and 1% White Milk or Minute Maid Orange Juice or Honest Kids Apple Juice. Studies show there is a strong link between a wholesome breakfast and better performance in school!

McDonald’s of New Mexico is proud to partner on this program with Dairy MAX – the nonprofit dairy council that represents dairy farm families in New Mexico – and the Dairy Producers of New Mexico. This FREE Breakfast event highlights the importance of including wholesome milk in our diets. McDonald’s 1% low fat white milk is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, vitamin B12 and pantothenic acid providing a total of 9 essential nutrients kids need for growth and development. Milk is also the #1 food source for vitamin D, calcium and potassium, nutrients most New Mexicans don’t get enough of in their diets. McDonald’s FREE breakfast options are a wonderful part of a daily allowance of nutrition and energy.

McDonald’s owners, who are community members and parents themselves, know the importance of starting the day with a nutritious breakfast, which many children do not have before they start their school day.
