Parent organizations are committed to fostering positive change and improvements in their school communities, and MySchoolBucks wants to help! In an effort to support opportunities for growth and enrichment, MySchoolBucks is excited to partner with parent organizations this school year with the first-ever Reach2Win Challenge.

For the past two years, MySchoolBucks and Heartland School Solutions has provided Growth Grants to school nutrition programs across the country. To date, we have awarded over $100,000 to districts who use MySchoolBucks and helped over 130 food service departments promote their nutrition programs in fun and creative ways, using funds they might not otherwise have access to. In addition to offering our food service Growth Grant program for the 2019-20 school year, we are excited to offer for the first time Growth Grants for before & aftercare programs! 

Earlier this year, in an effort to help promote student participation in lunchrooms, the MySchoolBucks Growth Grant Program offered additional funding to school nutrition programs nationwide.

We wanted to help get students pumped up about school lunch in ways that were specific to each of your lunch programs and the ideas came pouring in. Out of 225 applications, we were thrilled to award 86 school districts with Growth Grants for the 2017-18 school year! 

Take a look at how some of the funds were used:

The 2017-18 school year is almost here! You and your staff are ready to start another year of serving students healthy meals everyday.

Don't throw out those milk cartons this fall! The Made By Milk 2015 Carton Construction Contest is gearing up for the new school year with another fall contest.  Each year, Made By Milk holds a themed competition to see which school can build the best milk carton creation. This semester's theme is 'Animals'. 

This is a great way to get students involved and teach them about recycling. Encourage students to help collect milk cartons, brainstorm ideas, and create your school's competition entry. Contest entries must be submitted by November 18, 2015.

Congratulations to our three grand prize winners!

Are your school lunch heroes fighting crime and serving up justice? Well, probably not. But they sure are working hard to serve up delicious, healthy meals to students. To honor all their hard work, we're celebrating School Lunch Hero Day on May 1, 2015 with an exclusive giveaway!*
