Feeding America’s TGIF: The Goodness in Food!
March 2 @ 8:00 am - March 8 @ 5:00 pm
TGIF is back for March!
Would you like your little ones to learn about food and how to eliminate food waste? Join us for the FREE 4-week program, TGIF: The Goodness in Food! Designed for Grades 2-5*, this seasonal program offers interactive lessons on four consecutive Saturdays in March, diving into the food cycle and promoting healthy eating habits.
Each 45-60 minute session introduces children to various fruits and vegetables, explores their nutritional benefits, and provides hands-on experience in cultivating seasonal crops. In the third session, a special guest speaker from CBU will captivate the kids with an exciting lesson on nutrition! At the end of the program, participants will enjoy a fun-filled day at Overflow Farms, where they’ll embark on a scavenger hunt, enjoy a nature walk, and learn harvesting tips from a master farmer.
Once enrolled, attendance at all sessions is required for both children and parents. Prior to the start of the program, the Program Coordinator, Lloyd, will reach out individually to cover our rules and expectations for the children, the program’s goals, and answer any questions parents may have before the first day of class.
Enroll your child today! Your child’s personal growth and social interactions will be significantly enhanced by replicating and reflecting on lessons with a well-rounded educational experience. Much like seeds, your child will grow with the program, hopefully continuing to apply their newfound skills throughout their life. Please contact our Programs Coordinator, Lloyd, at lmarchan@feedingamericaie.org for more information!
