Schools all over the world celebrated World School Milk Day on September 26 by drinking lots of delicious, nutritious milk.

The 1st World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event celebrated in many countries throughout the world and promoted actively by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations.

In 2008, World School Milk Day is on Wednesday 24th September. 

This year students could enter the fantastic Make Mine Milk competition simply by showing why milk is one of the best drinks. They can use their writing, illustration or photography skills to enter.
