New Survey: Teachers Receive 46% of Essential
Items for their Classrooms Through Wish Lists, with Nearly All
Teachers Spending Their Own Money
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnation Breakfast
Essentials®, a nutrient-packed breakfast drink brand, is
supporting teachers and students this back-to-school season through
its "The Essentials Wish List" program, which aims to help fulfill
teachers' online classroom wish lists at Amazon® or
Walmart.com. The Carnation Breakfast Essentials® brand
is fulfilling $25,000 worth of wish
lists (up to $250 per classroom). A
new survey of 2,000 educators, commissioned by the Carnation
Breakfast Essentials® brand, found that 97% of teachers
are spending their own money on essential classroom supplies,
including traditional items like writing utensils, hand sanitizer,
cleaning wipes, tissues, paper towels as well as breakfast and
snack options for their students.
What's more, 96% of teachers believe eating breakfast is
necessary for having a successful school day, yet teachers believe
only half of their students are starting their day with a
nutritious breakfast. The Carnation Breakfast
Essentials® brand is stepping in with The Essentials
Wish List program to address this gap by providing teachers with
key resources, from classroom supplies to kid-friendly,
nutrient-packed, and convenient breakfast and snack options.
"It is striking to see how many teachers believe their students
are skipping a nutritious breakfast as it's the most important meal
of the day," said Sammi Brondo,
Registered Dietitian, Intuitive Eating Expert, and Carnation
Breakfast Essentials® partner. "It's so important to
consume a nutrient-rich breakfast to help fuel students and
teachers alike for their day ahead, as breakfast is an essential
way to get energy in the morning. One of my main focuses as a
registered dietitian is realistic and simple nutrition for the
whole family, which is made possible through nutrient-packed,
on-the-go products like Carnation Breakfast Essentials Nutritional
Drinks."
