Nestle's El Mejor Nido ("The Best Nest") Launches Back-to-school Program Benefitting Hispanic Families And Their Schools
Back to School Program Celebrates the New School Year
GLENDALE, Calif., Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestle USA, under its El Mejor Nido ("The Best Nest") platform, celebrates the new school year with an exciting back-to-school program featuring free backpacks filled with Nestle products and school supplies, a Favorite Lunch Box contest, and a free downloadable, bilingual book.
El Mejor Nido leverages Nestles nutrition, health and wellness expertise to help Hispanic consumers nurture a fulfilling family life and stay connected to their culture. Through this new program, Nestle is continuing its long standing commitment to education, while helping to make going back to school easier. "Our El Mejor Nido Back-to-School program is designed to provide support and inspiration for Latino families" said Juan Carlos Motta, head of Nestle's Emerging Markets division. "We've created a terrific program that celebrates the start of the new school year and helps both families and their schools."
The El Mejor Nido Back-to-School program focuses on key multicultural elements of language, food and family, and includes the following elements:
-- Backpack of School Supplies: The "Mochila Movement" Up to 700 families
will receive a backpack ("mochila") valued at more than $50 filled with
school supplies, Nestle products, coupons and the new bilingual book. To
receive a backpack, families can apply online from August 6 - 24,
answering questions such as, "What is your family doing to help your
children stay connected to their culture?" Applications are being
accepted at http://bitly.com/NestleBackToSchool.
-- Favorite Lunch Box Contest: Moms can submit and exchange their favorite
lunch box menu ideas for a chance for both the winner and their local
school to each receive $1,000. The exchange and contest runs from
August 27 - September 21. More details and official rules can be found
at Facebook.com/ElMejorNido after August 27.
-- Bilingual e-Book: Nestle has designed and produced the second in a
series of bilingual books. The new book "Poppy Learns Something Special"
will be distributed in a free, bound paperback version in various
retailers, while the first book "Poppy's Best Day Ever," is available as
a free downloadable PDF at elmejornido.com. Research has shown that
dual-language books like the Poppy series are an effective method for
increasing a child's facility with two languages and can help Hispanic
children stay culturally connected.
-- Tips for Parents: Nestle has developed a series of tips ("Consejos
Familiares") that Hispanic parents can follow to promote bilingual
learning and help children stay connected with their cultures, which
will be available on Facebook and the El Mejor Nido website after August
24.
Nestle USA has a long-standing commitment to education, and believes that it's the key to a brighter future for everyone. Education, specifically children's literacy, is a primary focus of Nestle's community affairs programs. Nestle USA has also donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local schools since 2009 through our partnership with Superior Grocers of Southern California. More information on Nestle USA's educational initiatives can be found on our website.
