Through Drop the Pop, Yukon Health and Social Services is working to ensure students have the opportunity to develop the health knowledge, skills and behaviours they need for successful learning and living. Making healthy eating and drinking choices now will lay a foundation for a bright future.

Join us in 2010 as we encourage students to the pop….. and build “Strong Bones” by choosing milk, water and 100% fruit and vegetable juices.

In the end, you’ll have students who are more fit and focused throughout the day!

Yukon’s Drop the Pop is changing in 2010!

Our 5th annual Drop the Pop campaign, will continue to encourage Yukon students to “STOP and think about your drink.”

This year, the campaign focuses on strong bones. This means promoting foods high in calcium such as milk, cheese and yogurt.

In 2010, we’re broadening our scope to include not only elementary school students but high school students, too.  Plus, we’re giving Yukon schools and educators freedom to plan and design their own Drop the Pop project.

There is funding available for every school.  Plus, there is school award money for the schools that create the best projects promoting healthy eating and active living.
