Why Milk at School?

Between the ages of 2 and 12, children more than double their weight and height and lay the foundation for a body that will last a lifetime. Children who consume milk with lunch are more likely to meet their bone-building needs.

nutrition info

A child’s growth depends on bone development. Milk products contain up to 15 essential nutrients, including protein and calcium to help young bones develop properly. Furthermore, all cow’s milk in Canada is fortified with vitamin D which helps the body absorb the large amounts of calcium found in both white and chocolate milk.

Volunteer

As an ESMP volunteer or milk coordinator, you can ensure children are getting a serving of milk at school by helping to place orders, supervise milk delivery, keep track of collections and payments, and organize program events. It’s a great way to get involved in the school and community
