Have you had your 3-A-Day today? This is a question you should answer, ‘yes’ to everyday. What is 3-A-Day? This is a very easy way to remember to get your 3 servings of calcium a day from dairy products, milk, cheese and yogurt. Why do you need 3-A-Day? You body needs calcium and the eight nutrients that dairy provides for better health.
Dairy Ambassador Abbey Puzo Did you know that three out of four Americans don’t get enough calcium? Moms and Dads need to encourage their children to get their 3-A-Day. 70% of preteen girls ages 6 to 11 and 60% of preteen boys are not getting enough calcium. Here’s an idea, pack string cheese or drinkable yogurt in your child’s lunch, or keep string cheese and yogurt in the refrigerator for a snack.

Scout Troop 81 Has Adirondack Adventure
Boy Scout Troop 81 (pictured) traveled to the Adirondack Mountains for a weekend of camping and hiking. They trekked up to the peaks of Giant, Cascade and Porter Mountains. Many of the boys are new to the Troop and were as excited as the others to try a new place to go and new terrain to climb. Fun was had by all, even on one of the hottest weekends we have seen. Many are anxious to return to try the other peaks that there are to climb.
