Neil marks World School Milk Day
Neil Carmichael marked 'World School Milk Day 2011 by visiting pupils and staff at Chalford Hill School last Tuesday.
The school was one of thousands across more than 40 countries taking part in celebrations dedicated to World School Milk Day this month. The day encourages children to drink milk and aims to educate them about the benefits that it brings.
In the UK, school milk is free for children in day-care or primary education under the age of five, and subsidised for school students aged five to eleven. Milk is delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom, distributed by students and consumed as a group. This process helps teach children responsibility, independence, manners and numeracy, and provides important social time in a child's day. Further, milk is vital for building healthy bones and teeth and improves a child's concentration, memory and creativity.
