Blue Ridge Elementary School recently held a school-wide Box Tops contest. The goal was to collect 5,000 Box Tops to raise money for the PTO. Once the 5,000 goal was achieved, the PTO brought in two dunk tanks for students to dunk faculty and staff members.

On June 5th every elementary student, grades Pre-K through Fifth, were given the chance to try to dunk their favorite teachers and staff members. The drive ended up yielding 9,127 Box Tops - almost double the school wide goal. The fundraiser was a huge success, thanks to the amazing school community!

At the recent Choconut Valley Elementary School Field Day, members of the Dairy Promotion team played games and refueled the students with chocolate milk provided by Mountain Side Market. Chocolate milk provides electrolytes such as calcium, potassium and magnesium to refuel after taking part in a sports activity. Consuming chocolate milk is a healthy option for everyone, especially for growing kids.

Along with serving milk, Dairy Princess Mary Catherine Chidester and Alternate Princess Brooke Arnold spoke with the kids about the importance of having three everyday of milk, cheese and/or yogurt. Dairy Ambassadors attending took turns talking with the kids about dairy facts such as how much milk does a cow produce each day and how much does and cow eat and drink to produce the milk. The answers to those questions are; the average cow produces about 8 gallons of milk per day and to do that she eats about 100 pounds of food and drinks a bathtub of water daily.
