School Milk List is a service of FAO’s Trade and Markets Division
Dear list members
In Finland we offer tools for the schools to celebrate the World School Milk Day. We have sent a letter to those in charge of school meals all over the country. We encouraged schools to order posters and to have some nice dairy based dessert after lunch.
We have already sent a press release about the World School Milk Day and will send another just before the day. On our website www.maitojaterveys.fi we will publish press releases and some information about what is happening in other countries.

Aihe: 14th World School Milk Day - 25 September 2013
School Milk List is a service of FAO’s Trade and Markets Division
Just a reminder to members to give some thought to celebrating World School Milk Day on 25 September.
Discussion on starting both these days took place on the FAO e-fora in June and July 2000; arising out of this, it was decided to hold the first World School Milk Day in September 2000 (last Wednesday of the month) and the first World Milk Day the following June (2001). Background information on World School Milk Day can be found at: http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/14th-world-school-milk-day-wsmd/en/
In order to provide inspiration for planning celebrations, here is a summary of last year’s events:

As with World Milk Day, the large number and wide geographic distribution of countries celebrating World School Milk Day illustrate its universal appeal.
Send us news of your planned celebrations, so that we can circulate them to the List and perhaps spur others to follow your example.
