The Hartsburg- Emden High School volleyball team earned the title
for their dedication to building healthy student athletes. The title
was awarded by St. Louis District Dairy Council, a nonprofit
education organization, and supported by local dairy farmers.
All 35 schools participated in Power Up with Chocolate Milk, an
initiative aimed at helping athletes reach for healthy beverages
after training. Research shows the high quality protein and
nutrients in chocolate milk make it an ideal post-workout drink.
Power Up involved athlete education, along with a grant to purchase
chocolate milk and/or cooling equipment. The contest called for
teams to submit a photo of their efforts to Power Up. The team that
best illustrated how chocolate milk fueled their success was named
2016 Power Up School of the Year.

In addition to a gift basket, the Hartsburg- Emden High School team and their
coach Jennifer Hayes received a large banner—with their winning team photo---to
hang in the school gymnasium.
