SCHAEFFERSTOWN (Leba
non Co.) “Look for the real
seal your assurance of real
dairy food,” Lebanon County
Dairy Princess Amy Moyer told
students at Schaefferstown Ele
mentary School.
The dairy princess and her
royalty, Dairy Maids Chanelle,
Horst, Janelle Zimmerman, and
Jessica Bross, and Little Dairy
Miss Louise Krall recently visited
the school to tell students about
the importance of a balanced
diet, and especially how milk
makes strong bones and teeth.
They even made chocolate pud
ding to show them how easy it is
to make a quick, nutritious
snack.
Some fakes have infiltrated the
grocery stores products imitat
ing dairy products but without
the nutritional goodness. T.> help
students discern real dairy prod
ucts from the fakes, the royalty
team showed them a “real seal.”
The real seal is a symbol of a
milk drop with the capitalized
letters REAL in the center. This
seal should appear on the con
tainers of all real dairy products.
To encourage the students to
look for the Real seal, the Leba
non County Dairy Promotion
team promised a pizza party to
the class that collected the most
real seals.
The 246 students searched for
the symbol on products in their
home and in the grocery cart.
They clipped out the seals and
brought stacks of the seals to be
counted.
In the end, fourth graders had
collected more seals than the
grades from kindergarten
through fifth. Fourth graders had
collected 2,433 seals. That’s a lot
of seals. A large percentage of
them were brought in by three
students; Twin brothers Tyler
and Brock Cromleigh and Janice
Brandt. The trio said they
couldn’t have done it without
their moms. The twins said their
mom works in a hospital and
Janice’s mom works at a restau
rant. Their moms ask coworkers
to bring in real seals for the con
test.
Competition was stiff. Every
class wanted to win the pizza
party, but only one could be de
clared the winner. Lucky for
fourth graders, they won!
The Lebanon County Dairy
Promotion Cow alias Cheryl
Horst delivered eight large pizzas
to the school. Helping serve the
pizzas were Lebanon County
Dairy Princess Amy Moyer and
Dairy Maid Chanelle Horst.
Chanelle is now a 10th grader
in high school, but Schaeffers
town was the school she attended
during her elementary years.
Chanelle said it was lots of fiin to
come back to school to serve
pizza instead of study. Each year
the kindergarten class visits her
family’s dairy farm.
M’mm good!
