The special milk program is a program that helps kids get milk, which is a drink that is good for their bones and helps them grow strong. The program is for kids who might not be able to get milk otherwise because they live in areas where there aren't any stores near their homes that sell milk, or because their families don't have enough money to buy milk all the time.
The program works by offering schools and other places where kids go (like child care centers or summer camps) some money to buy milk. The places get the money and then use it to buy milk for the kids to drink. This way, the kids can get milk whether or not their families can afford it, or whether or not there are stores near their homes that sell it.
The special milk program is important because milk has things in it that kids need to grow strong and healthy. It has calcium, which helps build strong bones and teeth, and it has protein, which helps build muscles. Children who drink milk are more likely to be healthy and grow up strong.
So, the special milk program helps make sure that all kids have a chance to grow strong and healthy by making sure they can have milk even if their families can't afford it or if they live in an area where milk is hard to get.
