MILK TICKETS

Milk tickets are an easy way for students to redeem milk, while removing the need to exchange money on a daily basis. Milk tickets can be purchased by families in advance. Using a pre-payment system means parents don’t have to remember to send money to school every day and it also cuts down on the time your school spends administering the program.
When tickets are for sale and for what price is a school based decision. Remind parents/guardians regularly that milk tickets are available for purchase. Use the complimentary templates below or create your school’s own tickets!
