New 2009 television commercials for Turkey Hill Dairy will feature Pittsburgh-area students and teachers.

A television shoot for the commercials took place on Wednesday at Bethel Park School District's Neil Armstrong Middle School.

Close to 25 local elementary-age students from the Pittsburgh area and one of Bethel Park's music teachers will be featured in the elementary school play-themed commercials for the Lancaster County, PA-based dairy.

"It's the first time we've done commercials in Pittsburgh. These kids are just a lot of fun to work with," said vice president of marketing Tom Wright.

Turkey Hill is the top-selling ice cream brand in Pennsylvania and the number four brand in the nation.
