	Milk - gotta love it

Students at Lessenger Elementary are staying active and drinking lots of milk with Andy and Artie everyday. Our Nutrition, Fitness & Me club has organized activities and promotes healthy choices for students. Working together with the Food Service department Lessenger students recently paraticipated in a milk sampling.

"Cold milk tastes so good," says Elizabeth McConkie, 2nd grade student at Lessenger, "especially after playing soccer."

Another student added "I like the new bottles of milk better than cartons, it tastes good and we can recycle the bottles, that is a good thing to do."
