Parent Workshops

Ongoing: "Eating Healthy on a Budget" -A new workshop presented by Kids First Chefs, through a grant from Blue Cross & Blue Shield of RI. Like all Kids First Workshops, "Eating Healthy on a Budget" can be tailored for your school district's needs, but can include a session where parents and students participate in an interactive, hands-on chef demo featuring seasonally available ingredients that won't break the budget. Participants will learn basic nutrition facts and tips for improving overall wellness. Please contact our office to hear more.

 

Please call Mary-Elena DeLuca at Kids First 401-751-4503 (medeluca@kidsfirstri.org) if you would like your parent group to have an opportunity to learn how to make healthier choices for themselves and become better role models for the children they influence.
