Dairy Excellence Awards

We are in a calcium crisis, according to USDA; with 7 out of 10 teen boys and 9 out of 10 teen girls not getting the calcium they need.

Awards Information

This calcium crisis highlights the importance of encouraging school age children to consume three servings a day of milk, cheese or yogurt.

As the dairy industry strives to recapture milk’s place as students’ beverage of choice, we look to Child Nutrition Supervisors as partners in reaching this goal.

The Dairy Councils of Pennsylvania want to recognize outstanding success stories promoting increases in milk consumption in Child Nutrition Programs grades K-12.
