Hills first milk pro gram Principal right says the project is successful at the school and Is en vironmentally conscious since the milk cooler on loan from the Halton Milk Committee and the un wrapped cookies cut down on waste Photo by Lisa Boonstoppel Pat Public school milk program promotes healthy lifestyle By LISA BOONSTOPPELPOT The Herald Milk and cookies usually arent associated with better learning but the principal at Joseph Gib bons Public School in Georgetown says their milk pro gram is doing just that Ive seen kids come to school eating a bag of potato chips for their breakfast and by mid morning these kids just crash said Children must have a certain amount of protein to help them learn and our milk and cookies help to sus tain them through the morning learning period The milk program really got in to swing in October when the school decided to sell glasses of milk for 30 cents and oatmeal cookies from the Terra Cotta Cookie Company for 30 cents This is done during the morning recess and lunch time Aside from the nutritional value and energy factor that is helping students stay alert and Interested in their morning studies the project is en vironmentally friendly Realizing the waste single milk cartons can produce Ms Callaghan decided to speak to the local milk committee and see if she could borrow the large milk coolers the committee uses to serve and promote milk at fairs and meetings Seeing a chance to promote the milk industry and make use of a cooler that is largely not opera during winter time the milk committee agreed to loan the cooler to the school The school was to decide if the project was successful enough to warran ty buying their own 100 to cooler The Milk Committee only owns one milk dispenser As well students use reusable cups to drink the milk which cuts down on waste The cups are then washed in the school dishwasher and Ms Callaghan finds the system very sanitary and workable Even the cookies help to reduce waste since they are bought in bulk and are not Individually wrapped So far over a third of the students at the school take part in the program and milk sales have increased from seven litres to to 50litres weekly Ms Callaghan expects milk sales to continue to rise since the Ontario Milk Marketing Board based in Mlssissauga is pro moting milk consumption in school by offering incentives Prices include milk shirts milk notebooks and erasers sharpeners magnets pencils and bookmarks all bearing the milk logo and slogan Give the Job to Milk As sales continue to increase the school has been able to sub sidize milk and cookie costs to those families who cant afford to have their children in the pro gram At present about dozen families are subsidized said Ms Callaghan She will be taking her en thusiasm about the project to other area teachers and prin cipals to encourage their schools to engage tn similar programs But for now students at JosephGibbons are drinking their way to a healthier lifestyle helping maintain the energy for learning and doing it in such a way that its environmentally conscious Theatre tickets contest The Hills Herald in conjunction with Georgetown Little Theatre Productions Inc is
