Freebie Alert Mill Valley Parents: McDonald's Breakfast Offered To Kids Tuesday

MARIN COUNTY, CA – In celebration of the new school year, McDonald's is offering a free breakfast to all school children from kindergarten through grade 8 on Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

Each child, younger than 13 and accompanied by an adult, can enjoy any breakfast muffin sandwich, apple slices or Yoplait Go-Gurt low-fat strawberry yogurt, and milk — free of charge.

"Research continues to show that breakfast is important not only for children's health, but for academic achievement, cognitive development and mental health," said Alice Fagundes, California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation Chair. "This is a great program to celebrate the busy back-to-school season as McDonald's provides a wide array of breakfast options for families on the go."

Gino Potesta, vice president and general manager of McDonald's Pacific Sierra Region in Northern California and Northern Nevada, added, "We are excited to help families in our communities make their mornings special and start their school days with a healthy meal."

The free breakfast is offered at participating McDonald's restaurants in the Bay Area.
