Recommendation:

This site doesn´t contain a large amount of educational components, but the appeal is that it is aimed at older students. Students can view celebrities from the got milk? ads, and the music and graphic layout are clearly intended to attract teens. The contest could have an influence on the entire school community.

Description:

Why Milk? shares information, online activities, contests, recipes and resources for learning about the nutritional value of milk. From the website: "Whymilk.com's mission is to help educate Americans about the benefits of milk and correct misperceptions about the beverage through the popular Milk Mustache celebrity campaign. "Whymilk.com is the online educational resource for consumers from MilkPEP (Milk Processor Education Program), funded by America's milk processors. It is designed and maintained to keep teens and moms engaged and educated about nature's power drink."

Possible uses:

This site has a `Healthy School´ contest that appears to run yearly. This could be used to influence a school´s interest and focus on nutritional habits. Teachers of older students can find images and resources here that will appeal to students. The fact areas, including homework help, provide some quick facts that can be shared on a projector. Students can create their own milk mustache image.
