World School Milk Day 2012

World School Milk Day is organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and is celebrated in over 30 countries around the world.

Launched in 2000, the day is used to promote the importance of drinking milk at school to children in a fun and educational way.

The goal of World School Milk Day is to celebrate school milk on one day of the year at the same time all across the world.

This year in the UK, MPs are showing their support for school milk by visiting local primary schools between 26th September - 26th October. Whilst at the schools they will be handing out school milk to 1,000's of children and judging drawing competitions.
