Psst! Not sure if your child’s school has a School Milk Program?

Contact the school. Even if they don’t have a cafeteria,
they might still have a School Milk Program.

Why participate in the School Milk Program?

  • Nutritious. It’s a protein-rich beverage that is part of a well-balanced lunch.

  • Reduced Cost. Subsidized in part by local dairy farmers, dairy processors and NS Dept. of Agriculture.

  • Local. 100% Canadian milk made to high Canadian standards.

  • Convenient. No need to worry about a container spilling in the lunch box.
