Fun Night at Trinity Lutheran School centered on a 3-A-Day of Dairy Nutrition Education Grant the school received last Fall. All year the students have been learning how dairy calcium and physical activity build strong bones.
For the event, students created over 25 interactive dairy-themed games, including Cheeseball, the Moovin' Maze, and Bovine Bowling. Each stressed the importance of dairy products and physical activity. A milk dunk tank allowed students to drench teachers and staff in liquid which only resembled milk. Three different breeds of dairy calves were on hand for petting.
Trinity also hosted the first annual 5K Dairy Dash and 1 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk. Some walkers sported costumes to emphasize the bone strengthening benefits of dairy calcium and physical activity. Runners came from as far away as Michigan.
To wrap up Trinity's Dairy Calcium & Fitness Challenge, students toured Cinnamon Ridge Dairy in May.
