Play:

Milk Mustache Booth

Topics:

Access to Healthy Foods,  Student Leadership

Student Ambassadors set up a milk mustache booth encouraging students to make a mustache and take a pic. They shared information about the importance of dairy as part of their healthy diet. This is one of the most popular and successful plays the Student Ambassadors have held. Ambassadors helped to share the benefits of dairy with students and raise awareness of its importance

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

The milk mustache booth event engaged students as everyone wanted to make a mustache and have their picture taken. To continue to raise awareness about dairy, Ambassadors are planning several taste days using dairy as the main ingredient and emphasize its benefits as well as share recipes so students can make them at home. Several of the items will be smoothies, dips using yogurt instead of sour cream, making oatmeal - using milk instead of water to make a complete protein - and fruit toppings.
