A little carton of milk can be a very big deal.

The weekly milk tickets are back on sale. Students can buy tickets on Monday's for $4.00 per book of 5 tickets.

A 250mL carton of white or chocolate milk may seem like a small thing, but consider this: there are approximately 194 days in the school year. That means there are 194 school lunches or, in other words, 194 opportunities to help students make healthy food choices. Multiply that number by the nearly 1 million Ontario students currently participating in milk programs and subtract the less healthy alternatives (such as soft drinks or sweetened juices) that milk is replacing, and you’ve got one way to make a dramatic difference in the health of Ontario’s elementary students.
