Got Milk?

By:

During the last 3 months, starting in March, we have had several events where we promoted drinking milk, including posters and signs throughout the school.  Rewards and incentives, like stickers, erasers, and bookmarks for kids who drink milk during lunch.  We also painted milk mustaches on students during our Walk for Diabetes.  One of our PE coaches dresses in a giant milk carton and dance with kids at lunch time and at different events.   We compost and recycle in the lunch room, separating liquid and trash, so the lunch monitors have noticed that a lot more kids are drinking their milk and less is thrown away. Kids are always excited to show their empty milk cartons off to trade for a "I love milk" sticker.  Our 4 lunch monitors have handed out hundreds of "I love Milk" stickers to students in Kinder thru 5th grade.
