Kids in the Kitchen
Kids in the Kitchen is a national program established by the Association of Junior Leagues International to empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices and help reverse the growth of childhood obesity and its associated health issues. It provides a forum for educational information and hands on demonstrations such as the preparation of nutritious meals to increase the students’ awareness of the need for healthy habits. In addition to serving up healthy meals, children will participate in games, martial arts, yoga, golf, storytelling and more. We invited over 400 children from various schools and community centers to join us on Saturday, March 6, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Science Museum of Virginia's Thalhimer Pavilion.
