Let's follow LAUSD and stop offering flavored milk at SMMUSD schools!  On June 14, 2011, LAUSD voted to remove flavored milk from their school cafeterias.

 

  • Each 8 oz. box of flavored milk contains 7 teaspoons of sugar 
  • (4 more than regular milk.) 
Too much added sugar in the diet is dangerous and can eventually lead to diabetes.
  • Schools should serve nutritious meals; families should decide when their children eat treats.
Many SMMUSD children drink flavored milk at school every day, for breakfast AND lunch.     Please sign this petition to help remove flavored milk from Santa Monica/Malibu school cafeterias!

Debemos dejar de ofrecer leche de sabores en las escuelas de SMMUSD como hizo LAUSD!

 

·                El 14 de junio de 2011, el LAUSD votó a favor de retirar leche de sabores de las cafeterías de la escuela.

·                Cada carton de 8 onzas de leche de sabores (leche sabor fresa o leche sabor chocolate) contiene 4 cucharaditas más de azúcar que la leche normal.

·                Las escuelas deben servir comidas nutritivas, y dejar a las familias que decidan si sus hijos comen dulces.

·                Muchos niños en SMMUSD consumen leche de sabores en la escuela todos los días, para el desayuno y también el almuerzo. 

Por favor, firmen esta petición para ayudar a eliminar la leche de sabores de las cafeterías escolares de Santa Mónica/Malibu!

7 teaspoons of sugar in one milk box is insane. my kids dont need that much sugar in the middle of the school day!

The cafeteria food is already questionable at best, we dont need extra junk on the menu for them to choose.
