Teachers and school staff can receive a free breakfast item (Egg McMuffin, a Sausage Biscuit, or a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit), a side of hash browns and a drink (medium hot or iced coffee, iced tea, or soda).
The offer is valid for walk-up or drive-thru orders with the presentation of a work ID from Oct. 11 to 15. Menu items may vary by location.

Complimentary meals will be presented in a Happy Meal box. However, instead of a toy, staff will receive a thank-you note.
The program is McDonald’s “first big national thank you gesture” for educators, said Jennifer “JJ” Healan, McDonald’s vice president of marketing, brand content and engagement, in an interview with USA TODAY.
