With school starting up again for millions of children across the country, school nutrition professionals are working hard to make sure those children are meeting their daily nutritional needs. Milk is one of those products that is found in every school cafeteria, and it can go a long way towards meeting those nutritional goals.
The National Dairy Council (NDC), founded by America’s farm families and funded by the National Dairy Checkoff, is partnering with the School Nutrition Association to promote proper nutrition in the lunchroom. Katie Bambact, vice president of nutrition affairs for the National Dairy Council, says the NDC has championed child nutrition for over 100 years.
The two organizations launched a campaign to promote the importance and benefits of school meals and good nutrition for kids.
Bambact says the campaign messaging focuses on promoting future health by prioritizing proper nutrition today.
Bambact added that the NDC has put together online resources to help school nutrition professionals get the message out about school meals and the importance of nutrition to successful learning.
