Planning Underway for 2012 Kids in the Kitchen Event

The Winter 2012 Provisional Class will host the Junior League of Calgary’s 7th annual Kids in the Kitchen (KITK) event on May 1.  An enthusiastic group of women are already making great strides to pull it all together!  A large undertaking is the nutrition board used at the “Mission Nutrition” station, which is getting a glossy overhaul and is sure to engage the students.
KITK educates youth about healthy food and lifestyle choices in an effort to reverse and prevent childhood obesity and health issues related to poor eating habits. Approximately 195 children from grades three through six at Rundle School will participate in a fun-filled day of interactive activities, including how to make nutritious wraps and smoothies, learning about portion control and creative dance and exercise that is sure to get everyone moving.
Actives and Sustainers are welcome to volunteer for the morning (8:30am - 12:30pm) or afternoon (12:15pm - 3:30pm) shifts or for the entire day. Your help is needed to fuel the event - lend your time with snack preparation or assist with staffing the always-popular nutrition stations. We provide all the training you need to do your job. Just remember, you must have your Police and Child Intervention Checks in place!
