Washington State PTA and the
Washington based owner/operator McDonald’s franchises have entered into a
partnership agreement for the purpose of promoting healthy eating by kids and
supporting local schools throughout the state. With their continued effort to
offer more wholesome and balanced options, McDonalds has recently expanded
its menu to include a number of lower calorie and more nutritional items, and
of course promoting child health and well-being is a core value of Washington
State PTA.
