Dairy gives you go!

This is the theme of School Milk Day celebrations in 2017 which will be a collaborative effort between the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO), National School Nutrition Project (NSNP),  Department of Basic Education (DBE) and Milk SA Consumer Education Project (CEP).

The aim of the celebrations is to increase awareness of where milk comes from  – the process from the farm to the fridge, the nutritional benefits of the product and the importance of including dairy in a balanced diet.

An important part of the campaign is the distribution of milk, amasi or yogurt sponsored by milk processors to school children at participating schools. Quizz competitions will also be held at the relevant schools with the winners receiving dairy products as prizes.

The main event is taking place on 27 September 2017 at Grootbrakrivier Primary School in the Western Cape. Events are also planned for Bloemfontein, Pretoria, Klerksdorp and Port Elizabeth.
