Cut Meal Costs and Boost Nutrition with One Smart Strategy
Two simple behavior shifts. One powerful solution for school food service teams.
​
With food prices climbing and new federal policies adding unreimbursed costs to school meals, districts nationwide are under growing pressure to deliver nutritious, appealing meals on tighter budgets. According to the School Nutrition Association (SNA), schools are now absorbing an added $0.40 per lunch and $0.15 per breakfast — direct costs not covered by federal reimbursements.


In response to this growing challenge, Green Edge Systems is introducing a new line of LED Flashing and Dry Erase Menu Boards and Signage—designed specifically to help schools practically implement a cost-saving, USDA-aligned strategy: 
* Encourage students to pick vegetables or whole grains first
* Promote water as the first choice for thirst

This smart and simple shift lowers the cost per meal while maintaining—and in many cases, improving—nutritional value.
A Smart, USDA-Aligned Strategy That Delivers ResultsOur solution is built on two evidence-based behavior shifts that lower food costs while improving nutrition:
  • Pick Vegetables or Whole Grains First
    Affordable, nutrient-dense foods that support satiety and fiber intake

  • Choose Water First for Thirst
    Reduces milk/juice waste and supports hydration, focus, and mood

Backed by the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement and real-world success stories, these changes help schools:


  • Lower food costs
  • Improve student satisfaction
  • Increase full-meal participation
Vegetables First
  • More filling, fewer calories – Fiber helps regulate appetite and blood sugar
    (Sources: VeryWellHealth, CDC)

  • Nutrient-dense and affordable – Supports MyPlate’s half-plate vegetable recommendation
  • Encourages long-term healthy habits
Whole Grains First
  • Slow-digesting energy – Ideal for academic focus and stamina
    (Source: EatingWell)

  • Rich in B vitamins, iron, and fiber
Water for Thirst

  • Zero-calorie hydration – Prevents dehydration and improves focus
    (Sources: CHOP, CDC)

  • Reduces milk and sugary drink waste
  • Linked to better mood and learning
  • Note: Promoting water first does not replace USDA-required milk offerings. Schools still offer milk with meals - this strategy simply encourages hydration habits that reduce waste and improve outcomes.
This strategy isn’t just theory—it’s backed by research and success stories from real districts.
See the attached documents, “Evidence-Based Meal Strategy for Cost-Effective Nutrition,” and The Smarter Lunchrooms Movement California Success Stories report for details.

Let Your Menu Boards Lead the Way
To help make these habits visible and actionable, we’ve developed LED Flashing Menu Boards and Dry Erase Boards that promote healthier habits every day:
  • Eye-level placement in front of the cafeteria - right where choices are made
  • Custom mascot headers and slogans, such as:
    “Pick Veggies or Grains First!”
    “Drink Water for Thirst”

  • USDA MyPlate visuals reinforce balanced meals
  • New design highlights Veggies and Grains at the top of the menu, encouraging students to choose these first
Already Have Menu Boards in Place?Even if your district already uses digital, dry erase, or printed menu boards, we now offer standalone LED Flashing Signs to promote key behavior shifts like:
  • “Pick Veggies or Grains First!”
  • “Drink Water for Thirst”
These signs can be added to your existing setup to reinforce cost-saving, nutrition-smart choices—without needing to replace your current boards.
They're eye-catching and affordable.
Real Results, Real SavingsSchools using this approach report:
  • Lower average food cost per meal
  • More frequent selection of vegetables and whole grains
  • Higher student satisfaction with meal variety and balance
And here’s the key:
Many schools save more in 1–2 months than the full cost of our boards.



We understand your district’s approach to food cost savings may differ from the strategy we’ve outlined. That’s why, for districts ordering 5 or more boards, we offer customization of any graphics — including headers and messages — at no additional charge, so your menu boards reflect your own goals and messaging.
All graphics shown on our site can be sized for wall-mounted or A-frame formats.

​Trusted Nationwide by 1,000+ Districts
Green Edge Systems has been trusted for over a decade, with boards now seen by over 1 million students daily across 1,000+ school districts.
We were among the first - if not the very first - to introduce digital menu boards to K–12 food service in 2012 and the first to incorporate the USDA MyPlate concept into visual cafeteria signage. We developed our LED Flashing Menu Boards to solve real-world challenges - visibility, placement, and cost - with no ongoing fees.

Green Edge Systems, a leader in innovative nutrition solutions, is excited to unveil its latest advancement in school nutrition promotion: the new line of flashing menu boards, designed to inspire students toward healthier eating habits. These boards are unique in their integration of vibrant, flashing messages that promote healthy eating through engaging school mascot-themed headers and calls to action, such as "Pirates Pick Power: Eat Your Greens!" This initiative aims to support schools in encouraging students to embrace a balanced diet, featuring fruits, vegetables, milk, and MyPlate guidelines in their daily meal choices.

These state-of-the-art menu boards are more than just visually appealing; they are tools for transforming the way students think about food. By creating a fun, relatable, and interactive experience, Green Edge Systems’ flashing menu boards help schools foster a positive, health-focused environment in their cafeterias.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Mascot-Driven Engagement Each board can be customized to feature a school’s mascot, making nutrition messages both fun and familiar. Research shows that students are more likely to respond to health messaging that is presented in an engaging, recognizable format. With slogans like “Eagles Energize: Power Up with Protein!” or “Lions Lead with Milk!” schools can strengthen school spirit while encouraging students to make nutritious choices.
2. Promoting Key Nutrients: Fruits, Vegetables, Protein, and Milk These boards highlight the essential components of a balanced diet in line with USDA MyPlate guidelines. Students are introduced to the importance of protein for muscle development, dairy for bone health, and fruits and vegetables for vital vitamins and minerals. The combination of mascot-themed prompts and healthy options provides students with actionable, relatable information that reinforces good choices daily.
3. MyPlate Guidelines Made Easy The new menu boards simplify MyPlate guidelines, making balanced eating easy for students to understand. By reinforcing USDA-recommended servings for each food group, schools provide students with a foundation of nutritional knowledge. The flashing messages, paired with simple MyPlate visuals, offer gentle reminders to “fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables” or “choose dairy for strong bones,” which can encourage long-term health habits.
4. Encouraging Mindful Eating Through Call-to-Action Slogans Green Edge Systems’ new boards take nutrition messaging to the next level with specific calls to action like “Mustangs Move with Milk” and “Tigers Thrive with Veggies.” These personalized messages not only engage students but also make nutrition fun and easy to remember. Schools report that the use of mascot-themed calls-to-action leads to greater student interaction with cafeteria offerings, ultimately promoting healthier eating patterns.
5. Energy-Efficient LED Technology for Sustainability The flashing menu boards are powered by energy-efficient LED technology, which ensures that schools can promote health-conscious choices without increasing their carbon footprint. The eco-friendly design reflects Green Edge Systems’ commitment to sustainability, aligning with the broader mission of creating healthier, greener school environments.

Advantages for Schools

The new menu boards offer schools a powerful way to engage students in nutrition education. By integrating school mascots, these boards foster a sense of pride and ownership over healthy eating. Schools can expect several direct benefits, including:
  • Increased Student Participation in School Meals: With fun, interactive messages, students are more inclined to participate in school meal programs, ensuring they receive balanced, nutrient-rich meals throughout the day.
  • Positive Health Outcomes: Consistent exposure to messages about protein, fruits, vegetables, and dairy can positively influence students' eating habits, reducing the risk of nutrient deficiencies and promoting lifelong health.
  • Enhanced School Spirit: The mascot-inspired slogans unite students under their school’s banner, making healthy choices a shared, spirited experience.
  • Educational Reinforcement: By visually presenting nutritional information, the boards serve as ongoing educational tools, reinforcing classroom teachings about health and nutrition in a practical setting
​If your district has already installed digital menu boards in some schools but is hesitant to expand to more - or to all schools - due to the high costs involved, we’d like to suggest a solution worth considering.
And if you're just now considering installing menu boards for the first time - but find yourself hesitating due to shrinking resources and the long-term cost of traditional digital systems - there’s a way to move forward without the financial burden.
Menu boards play a critical role:
  • They help satisfy USDA visibility requirements
  • They increase student participation
  • They support wellness goals through daily nutrition education
But expanding digital menu board use can be expensive - both up front and over time.
