{local love} milk ~ real seal appeal

Our schools need our help.

Our schools in California need our help.

Our California schools need financial support.

Do you drink milk, eat yogurt, enjoy ice cream, eat cheese?? Is dairy in your life? YOU CAN HELP CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS by doing what your already doing and adding JUST ONE MORE STEP, take the seal to your school.

How easy is that?

Real California Milk is supporting California schools by launching the Real Seal Program. From October 1, 2011-December 31, 2011, the California Milk Advisory Board will be challenging Southern California elementary classrooms, schools and students to collect Real California Milk seals from milk and dairy products for a chance to win up to $2 million in cash, Scholastic books and other prizes (No, SERIOUSLY, A LOT of money can be won for your California school!!) Top prizes being $20,000, $10,000 and $5,000 for three schools each – and 2,595 other schools will be awarded $500. To know that just by collecting a little seal from October 31st to December 31st, that looks like this:
And giving it to your schools teacher, who will then turn all collected seals in, your school could win THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. This is such a fabulous opportunity, I’m pretty sure every California school district is participating!

I love hearing about companies that are giving back, and this is another great example of a California organization coming together with other California businesses to help our schools. And think of the good that could be done ~ any organization can help you collect for your school…mom’s groups, churches, synagogues, your neighbors.

So what are your dairy favorites? Here are a few of mine:

To die for Mac & Cheese
Easy Mac & Cheese
Morning protein shakes with milk
Smoothies with yogurt
and of course, a good old cheese, fruit and crackers plate!


Let’s get our school the funding they need! Start collecting Real California Seals today!!

    What a great campaign, and so very important. It’s crazy that milk may come from half way across the country when there is enough to go around from in state.
