Why milk in school?
As any busy parent knows, it’s hard enough getting them to school in the morning and we don’t always think to include a serving of milk or a milk product in their lunch bag.
The School Milk Program can help ensure your child gets one more serving of milk’s 16 essential nutrients during their school day.
