Make It Shake:
A Cool

school children throughout Penn
sylvania drinking thick, delicious,
nutritious milk shakes every day in
the school cafeteria. Picture the
thousands of gallons of milk that
could be consumed in that way.
That picture could become a reali
ty if the Pennsylvania Dairy Prom
otion Program is successful in its
efforts to get milkshake machines
into local schools.
The Dairy Promotion Program
is so excited about the idea of sup
plementing school lunches with
milk shakes that they have deve
loped a program called “Make It
Shake,” and are working with local
dairy promotion groups to try to
get more machines in the schools.
One initial drawback to the
machines is the cost, which is quite
high. To help overcome that obsta
cle, some groups, most notably
Fulton County, are working to help
underwrite part of the cost of the
machines.
According to Richard Glenn,
chairman of the Fulton County
Milk Promotion Board, they
decided to work with the schools to
“help get more nutrition into
schools. We want to promote dairy
products rather than soft drinks.”
Furthermore, he said, “We’re a

small area, with dairy farmers in
each of the three school districts
and a dairy farmer is president of
the school board in one district.”
He said the Milk Promotion
Board met with each of the School
Boards and invited Donna Vemer,
manager of the Program to make a
presentation. They passed out
other literature, and two of the
three districts have now purchased
machines to put into use in the fall.
The Fulton County Milk Promo
tion Board gave each district $750
toward the cost of the machines,
money which they raised through
their own efforts selling milk
shakes and ice cream at various
fairs and other events in the coun
ty. Although it doesn’t begin to
cover the full cost of the machines,
Glenn said, “We just wanted to
help defray some of the costs.”

He said the school districts are
free to set their own price, and will
use the program as a moneymaker.
Glenn pointed out that with just
120 dairy farmers in the county,
Fulton County has not participated
in the Dairy Princess program, but
they do many other kinds of pro
motion. “Some women on the
board do milk promotion in the
schools,” he added.
Barbara Fischer, cafeteria man
ager for the Southern Fulton Coun
ty School District, hopes that the
machine will be “a good money
maker.” She said her students
seem enthusiastic about the pros
pect of having the machine in
school.
Fischer says her school will
offer two flavors of milk shakes,
charging $.75. She hopes to occa
sionally incorporate the shakes
into the regular lunch, using a
smaller portion at a lower price. To
serve them efficiently, she says she
will prepare the shakes ahead of
time, freeze them and remove
them about one hour before serv
ing time.
