Dairy MAX Press Conference, September 24, 2012

Austin Independent School District's elementary schools were selected from among hundreds of schools across the country to receive $320,000 from Dairy MAX, a division of the National Dairy Council.

Each AISD elementary school will receive $4,000 to expand the Active Play Project, which uses playground stencils featuring nutrition messages to encourage physical activity. In addition, the funds and Active Play Project support the district's Fuel Up to Play 60 initiative, a partnership between the National Dairy Council and National Football League, which increases awareness and access to nutrient-rich foods and physical activity opportunities.
