								Thirty-five 
								local high schools powered their athletes to new 
								heights with chocolate milk last year. But only 
								one team took home the crown of “2016 Power Up 
								School of the Year.” 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.
