What is the Elementary School Milk Program (ESMP)?
 |
It's the fun program that offers BC elementary school children fresh, cold milk as a healthy alternative to fruit drinks and pop.
Join over 700,000 school children who have already glugged and chugged over 4
million litres of milk over the past 25 years and really make a difference in
your school! |
How does the program work?
- All BC Elementary schools are eligible to participate
in the ESMP when they drink white and/or chocolate milk a minimum of 3 days per week at school.
- The program runs throughout the school year and
school participation is recognized with milk reminder items sent at the beginning of the school year (or whenever your school joins the program).
- In addition, students in registered schools are eligible to participate in contests and win prizes for themselves and their school!

Why participate?
Are your students drinking pop or other sugary drinks at lunch?
Children's critical bone growing years occur during the elementary school years. How they fuel their young bodies at this age will affect them for the rest of their lives.
Give your students good reasons for making an alternative choice of white or chocolate milk with the Elementary School Milk Program reminders.
