The goal of the Junior Leagues’ Kids in the Kitchen initiative is to empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices and help reverse the growth of childhood obesity and its associated health issues. The initiative began in 2006 with the goal of engaging kids in the preparation of healthy meals as a means to educate them and their parents regarding nutrition and healthy choices.
2011 marks the fifth year that the JLCS has offered Kids in the Kitchen programs. Our main event will take place on Saturday, March 5th, and will involve healthy recipe preparation, fun fitness activities, educational opportunities with registered dietitians, seed planting, arts & crafts, and much more. We anticipate that 400-500 children will attend this year’s free event!
The event will take place at Mr. Biggs Event Center from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. Come say hi at the Kids on Bikes booth and do a fun activity about bike safety!
