Esteban Perez was tired of the drink choices at Anderson Elementary School in Anderson, Missouri.
“We only had chocolate milk and white milk,” Esteban explains.
He wanted strawberry milk. But his school had stopped serving it. The fourth-grader wrote a petition asking the school to bring it back.
Other students signed the petition, and they gave it to the principal. The principal agreed! The school now offers strawberry milk again.
While Esteban’s school serves three kinds of milk, other schools serve only plain milk or water. Many nutrition experts say flavored milk is not a healthy choice. Other people argue that even flavored milk contains many nutrients kids need.
