WEST ORANGE, NJ — The New York Giants and American Dairy Association North East recently teamed up to reward more than 200 students at MetLife Stadium for their commitment to health and wellness at school with “Touchdown” awards.
Nearly 100 of the students came from schools in New Jersey, including Mount Pleasant Elementary School in West Orange.
Former Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, a local dairy farmer and several “dairy ambassadors” were on hand to take photos and speak with the students, who also learned about milk production, ran through some football and yoga drills, and got information about healthy snacking.
