With less than a month until the big day on May 1, preparations are well underway for the Seventh Annual Kids in the Kitchen event. Thanks to some great donations from community partners, this year's totes will not only be brimming with fun items for the students, but are branded with the Junior League of Calgary logo to increase our visibility with Calgarians.
Kids in the Kitchen 2012 will be taking place at Rundle School (4120 Rundlehorn Dr NE) with over 190 children from grades three through six participating in a fun-filled day of interactive activities. Along with our volunteers, Chef Will Kwong, Executive Chef, Premium Seating, Calgary Stampede and JLC members Emily Roback and Natalie Wynn-Dempsey are returning to educate the students about healthy food and active lifestyle choices in an effort to prevent and reverse childhood obesity. Activities will include how to make nutritious wraps and smoothies, learning about portion control and creative dance and exercise that is sure to get everyone moving.
All Actives and Sustainers are encouraged to volunteer - your help is needed to fuel the day! 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. There are three shift options available: morning (8:30am - 11:30pm), afternoon (12:00pm - 3:00pm) or the entire day.
