Last Friday I was delighted to visit the Pavilion Nursery School in Attleborough for World Milk Day.
The School Milk Scheme is crucial in highlighting the importance of drinking milk for the health of our children. It provides them with the vital mineral that their bones, teeth and muscles need to grow, whilst giving them the energy boost they need to learn. It is also a key opportunity to remind school children that milk is a great product of our local farming community.
World School Milk Day is organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations and is celebrated in over 30 countries around the world. The goal of World School Milk Day is to celebrate children drinking milk in school and early years settings on one day of the year all across the world. I am very glad to have had the chance to support such vital work.
