Here is a great opportunity for your classroom and students! Your school can host a local chef to demonstrate how to make healthy recipes. You can even use the ‘Chef in the Classroom’ program as one of your healthy eating plays. Check out the playbook on the Fuel Up To Play 60 website for further ideas.
Interested in bringing this program to your school? Apply for funding through the Dairy Dollars Grant!

Featured School Toolkit
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For… Oatmeal?
Boost your breakfast. Add coconut, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, or even sharp cheddar and elevate that monotonous morning oatmeal to a level of amazing you’ve yet to taste.
Oats are among the healthiest grains on the planet. Adding milk to your morning oatmeal not only makes it deliciously creamy – it also provides added protein and keeps you feeling full for longer.
Additional School Toolkits
It might be cold outside, but your team will be warming things up in the cafeteria!
Have your students grab a cup of hot chocolate made with real milk at breakfast or lunch – it’s included in their meal.
An activation guide and customizable assets are available to download below.
These three smoothie recipes are a great addition to your school!

One active piece of the Indiana farm to school movement has been the implementation of Food Day in the month of October to align with National Farm to School Month.
Indiana Food Day encourages healthy eating and supports farm to school and other local food purchasing initiatives throughout our state.
It is also a fun way to connect food and nutrition to all kinds of classroom curricula from science to art!
The Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD) and American Dairy Association Indiana (ADAI) have developed a “Summer Can Be Fun” learning playbook to show that learning can be fun!
This resource contains seven different categories to choose from with lessons, videos, and activities to that combine nutrition, farming, physical activity and culinary fun.
Each area has several items to choose from that can be done as a group, as an individual or as a demonstration for others.
Lattes are a delicious and easy way to include milk in your school.
Featuring hot or iced latted at breakfast can increase participation.
