Take Stack to School

In a continuing effort to promote the importance for children toget three servings of dairy foods (milk, cheese or yogurt) daily, the Mavs, DairyMax and Dannon are again giving one Metroplex student the chance to take Mavs forward Jerry Stackhouse to school.

The winner of the third annual "Take Jerry Stackhouse to School" sweepstakes will receive a school visit by Stackhouse, four tickets to a 2007-08 Mavs regular season home game and an autographed Jerry Stackhouse jersey.

"Low-Fat and non-fat milk and dairy foods are among the most recent Dietary Guidelines Food Groups to encourage children to eat, along with fruits,vegetables and whole grains," said Teresa Wagner, registered dietitian with Dairy Max, the regional promotion organization funded by dairy farmers. "Teaching children to eat a variety of nutrient rich foods such as milk, cheese and Dannon yogurt ensures they receive the vitamins and minerals they need to be fit and healthy while taking in the appropriate amount ofcalories."

Starting Tuesday, January 15th, students ages 6-12 can obtain an entry format any participating Albertsons location throughout the Metroplex and describe how they get their 3-A-Day of dairy on game day and why they love the Mavs. Entries are due by February 29, 2008. A full list of rules is available on mavs.com.

Nine-year old Alexis Godina of Arlington was selected as last year's winner.
