Going Green and Cooking Matters!

The kiddos have had a great time creating their own garden at the center. They helped plant peas, strawberries, green beans, peppers, pumpkins, cherry tomatoes, huckleberries, watermelon, and much more! The kids have been very active in planting, watering, weeding, and (hopefully very soon) eating their hard work!

One of the electives offered to the Activity Center kids has been a cooking class. The kids have learned about the importance of nutrition, food preparation, how to read a recipe and plan a meal, and making healthy choices when it comes to eating a snack. Low cost meals and food substitutions were also things that the cooking instructors taught. This elective was a huge success! Way to go blue, green, and purple groups!
