Jump with Jill
In support of the Milk Means More campaign, the rock and roll nutrition show Jump with Jill ihas announced that Oakview South Elementary has won the show in a statewide contest. This is all thanks to the generosity of Michigan’s own dairy farmers and milk processors and the folks at the United Dairy Industry of Michigan (UDIM) as part of their Fuel Up to Play 60 Program.
The statewide tour of Michigan elementary schools runs from Sept. 15th to November 14th and will be provided at no cost to 35 schools across Michigan this fall. Performances are closed to the public.
“Not only is milk a high quality protein and nutrient source, it is one of Michigan’s leading agricultural products, generating nearly 40,000 jobs,” says the star of the Midwest Jump with Jill Cast, Laura Brown, MS, RD. “It’s so fun to sing about a food that is healthy for our bodies, our communities, and our environment.”
“We are dedicated to being a source of information on dairy foods and Michigan dairy farming,” said Sharon Toth, CEO of United Dairy Industry of Michigan. “The Milk Means More brand captures the impact Michigan’s dairy industry has throughout our state, from providing nutritious and wholesome foods, to jobs in our communities. We are so proud to partner with Jump with Jill to take this message to Michigan kids.”
