World School Milk Day

World School Milk Day

Your kids might have a friend at school that they see every day – but don’t know how powerful a punch she really packs as a partner. She’s Mooella, and she is on the side of every half-pint that Maola Local Dairies produces.

There’s no other type of food that provides the unique combination of nutrients that dairy contributes to a student’s diet every day. According to the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, American children and adolescents over four are not consuming enough dairy to meet the recommendations in the Federal Guidelines for Americans.

Fortunately, Maola Milk in local schools is able to help bring dairy nutrition to students’ school meals. As we celebrate World School Milk Day today, let’s take a look at the 13 essential that are in every single half-pint we serve.

  1. Protein
  2. Calcium
  3. Potassium
  4. Vitamin D
  5. Vitamin B12
  6. Vitamin A
  7. Riboflavin
  8. Phosphorus
  9. Niacin
  10. Zinc
  11. Iodine
  12. Selenium
  13. Pantothenic Acid

This collection of essential nutrients are critical to help to repair muscles, hydrate your student’s body, and build strong bones and immune health. Milk is the top place to grab this powerful combination of nutrition.

Maola is proud to be a provider of school milk to nearly 100 school districts across Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. When your child tells you about Mooella, we hope you remember that they’ve enjoyed a balanced meal with a refreshing school milk (or maybe even two!), giving them a delicious and nutritious anchor that can fuel their days and lives.
