 The Lowndes County School Nutrition Program joined other school districts
in over 40 counties to celebrate the 16th anniversary of World
School Milk Day on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. The Food and Agriculture
Organization created World School Milk Day to focus attention on school milk
with celebrations in countries around the globe highlighting the health benefits
of milk on the last Wednesday in September each year. “Milk in all flavors is a
Powerhouse Beverage and a great source of natural fuel for the body – milk
provides the power of protein to build muscles, calcium and vitamin D for
strong bones and teeth, potassium to keep the heart healthy, along with five
other important vitamins and minerals needed every day!” reports Sharon Flythe,
Director of School Nutrition for Lowndes County Schools.   |
