Why Meal Choice Educational Boards™?
Every school meal begins with a student making a choice.
Meal Choice Educational Boards™ are designed to help schools reinforce the educational goals of the USDA's new meal direction by guiding students through a simple meal-selection process:
A Daily Educational Tool
Unlike static educational signs, Meal Choice Educational Boards™ include a large daily write-in area.
The changing Today's Suggestion gives students a reason to look at the board every day while continually reinforcing the permanent educational messages.
This combination helps increase student exposure to the school's meal guidance throughout the school year.
Designed Around How Students Make Decisions
Traditional menu boards often organize foods into separate food categories.
Meal Choice Educational Boards™ organize meal presentation around how students naturally make decisions.
Several board layouts are available, including our simplified Vegetables & Fruits design that combines both food groups into one easy-to-follow section while continuing to clearly identify both food groups.
Schools can select the layout that best supports their serving style, menu presentation, and operational goals.
Supports More Efficient Cafeteria Operations
Meal Choice Educational Boards™ also help schools:
Works With Any Existing Menu Presentation System
Meal Choice Educational Boards™ are designed to complement existing cafeteria communication systems.
Whether your schools currently use digital menu boards, printed menu boards, dry erase boards, or other cafeteria signage, Meal Choice Educational Boards™ add front-of-line educational guidance exactly where students make their meal decisions.
For schools planning future investments in digital communication, Meal Choice Educational Boards™ provide an affordable first step that can be implemented immediately while continuing to complement additional signage as cafeteria needs evolve.
