Printable Signage to Support Back-to-School Efforts

Date: August 17, 2021 Posted by Linnea Mail Twitter Facebook

As we head back to school this fall, there are still many school meal-related benefits available to students and families this year due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic. It’s likely many still don’t know about them. 

To help you spread the word and help you boost your meal participation, we’ve created three free downloadable resources for you to share. These printable, 8 ½” x 11” PDFs include:

1. School Meals Are Free mini poster to promote the availability of free meals during the 2021-22 school year.
2. Pick 3, It’s Free mini poster reminds students who bring lunch from home they can enhance their meals with a fruit, veggie, and milk for free.
3. It’s So Much More Than a Meal Application flyer explains the importance of filling out free/reduced meal applications this year even though meals are free for all students. NOW AVAILABLE in Spanish.  

The team at NutriStudents K-12 wishes you all the best for a safe and healthy school year!

10/7/2021 UPDATE: USDA released a bulletin today making guidance very clear regarding "Pick 3" messaging under Offer Versus Serve. "While OVS service allows students to decline some of the foods offered at lunch, USDA requires that all students must be offered a full meal that includes all five components." With this in mind, we have removed the printable from our site.
