Stop Sugary Beverages Group to Speak to School Board

The Bend La Pine School Board will hear from people tonight who want the district to stop offering flavored milk. The group has gathered hundreds of signed petitions. They want the district to get rid of the flavored milk and fruit juices in school cafeterias. Dr. Stephen Archer, an obesity specialist, will be presenting the petitions. “This effort will not stop based on whatever they decide to do. If able to get rid of flavored milk and fruit juice, then we'll celebrate that by looking for other subject we can collaborate on looking for the best and healthiest school menu for the kids.” The group wants the sugary beverages removed because one third of our kids are overweight or obese.
