NOMINATIONS to find the North-East's best milk monitors have been flooding in.

The Cool Milk at School scheme has been inundated with replies from schools throughout the region looking to find their milk monitor of the term, say organisers.

This is the second year that the scheme has been operated by Cool Milk at School, which supplies fresh milk to schoolchildren at break-times.

Judith Presley, headteacher at Ingleton Primary School, near Barnard Castle, County Durham, said: "This is a wonderful idea and the children are all so proud to accept their awards in assembly."
