From 6 to 9 a.m., on March 2^nd, Arizona McDonald's restaurants will extend a special "Lovin' Our Egg McMuffin" offer to kick off National School Breakfast Week and raise awareness of the importance of breakfast before school.

McDonald's Egg McMuffin is made with a freshly cracked, USDA Grade A egg and is an excellent source of protein. Fresh cracked eggs are also served on the Sausage McMuffin with Egg.

"Whether students eat at home, at their schools or at McDonald's, it's important to have breakfast every day to perform well at school," said Michelle Slayton, president of McDonald's Phoenix & Northern Arizona Owner/Operator Association. "On March 2, we hope parents help their students begin the day with our famous Egg McMuffin and enjoy a free Happy Meal at a later time with our compliments. As many members of the McDonald's family are parents themselves, we are strongly committed to children's well-being," she explained. "We hope to remind parents of the importance of breakfast before school to provide the fuel and nutrients students need to start the day."
