Get kids excited about
eating healthier meals in your cafeteria with the new Power Up Stay Healthy
(P.U.S.H.) program. Created through a Land O’Lakes and Wisconsin
Milk Marketing Board partnership, P.U.S.H. consists of four fun and easy
events that help you improve daily participation in your school lunch
and breakfast programs. It’s also a fun way to educate students about
the importance of a healthy lifestyle and how Real Wisconsin Cheese®
and other dairy foods help them get vital calcium, protein and other nutrients
their growing bodies need.
Each of the four P.U.S.H. events includes everything you need to easily implement the program in your own school including:
Student involvement
activities
such as fitness events, easy contests, and fact-filled games you can use
to generate student interest.
An educational
message that promotes regular exercise and a diet rich
in dairy products like
Real Wisconsin Cheese® that will provide kids
with vital calcium and protein to help build strong bones and maintain
high energy levels.
Free
support materials
including posters, menu boards, fun fact cards, a placemat and an announcement
script that you can easily download and print to promote each event.
