The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB) has a great new promotion! A new poster features twelve Wisconsin students sporting the famous milk mustache. The poster will be featured in Wisconsin schools during the 2007-2008 school year and encourage children to drink one serving of milk a day at school. Visit WMMB’s website to see each student’s individual poster.
The students were chosen at random from the sweepstakes and were invited to participate in a professional photo shoot in early May. To be entered for the random drawing, the students submitted answers to the following questions. 1) Milk contains what three important vitamins? 2) Milk provides what percent of your daily calcium for strong bones? 3) A recent study shows that individuals who consume how many servings of dairy per day are more likely to maintain a healthy weight? 4) One 8-ounce serving of 2% reduced fat milk contains how many calories?
“We worked with a very impressive group of young adults,” said Laura Wilford, Director of the Wisconsin Dairy Council, the nutrition education department of WMMB. “They were excited to be part of our promotion and are knowledgeable about dairy nutrition.”
The twelve students are: Jennifer Greenfield, Waupun; Ali Brown, Dousman; Victoria Gill, Johnson Creek; Jerilyn Lee, Stevens Point; Quinn Seston, Mazomanie; Madeline Bryke, Elm Grove; McKenzi Wermund, Cazenovia; Luke Crane, Oshkosh; Alec Dopp, Stevens Point; Mitchell Nickodem, Manawa; Carissa Snider, Fond du Lac; Ryan Leedle, Lake Geneva.
