The first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event in countries throughout the world. Celebrated on the last Wednesday each September, the goal is to organize a day focused on school milk programs. The School Milk Foundation provides ideas for fun milk activities that students can organize on World School Milk Day as well as prizes including free milk to over 170 primary, elementary and mixed-grade schools in Newfoundland and Labrador.  Just go to our Fun With CalciCow page and then select Milk Activities for lots of ways to celebrate World School Milk Day such as:

Noon Hour Barn Dance

Milk-Shake Day

Milk Carton Treasure Hunt and more

So have fun and celebrate World School Milk Day - Wesnesday, September 30th, 2009!!!

 

World School Milk Day also marks the beginning of the national World School Milk Day poster contest! During the fall of 2009 elementary students from across the country are invited to submit poems, photos, songs and artwork celebrating milk in school.  In January 2010 one winning entry will be chosen from each participating province. All winning entries will be incorporated into the official 2010 World School Milk Day poster. The winner chosen from Newfoundland and Labrador will receive a $100 (one-hundred dollar) gift  certificate for Chapter's Bookstore and his or her school will receive a $200 (two-hundred dollar) gift certificate for Chapter's Bookstore.  There’s still plenty of time to enter so see your School Milk Coordinator for poster contest rules!
