National School Milk Week 23 – 27th April 2018
To help spread the message of healthy eating, nutrition and the importance of dairy as part of a balanced diet, the National Dairy Council is launching an exclusive competition open to primary schools participating in the School Milk Scheme.
The winning school will receive free School Milk for all pupils for the 2018/2019 school year and a School Trip to Airfield Farm. The winning and finalist school’s entries will also be featured on the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show during National School Milk Week (23rd-27th April).
To enter, all your school needs to do is write a short poem, Limerick, song or jingle about why your school loves School Milk (max. 200 words). You can even add music to your entry if you wish.
