The purpose of the class is to inform
the children of different forms of
healthy food. It's part of Boys & Girls
Clubs of America's Healthy Habits
program that "emphasizes good
nutrition, regular physical activity and
improving overall well-being."
Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a
nonprofit organization that started
in 1860. At first and for many years,
it was called Boys Clubs, but then, in
1990, the leaders realized that girls
were part of their cause. So, the
name was changed to include girls.
And what is the cause, or mission,
of this organization that has been
making a difference in children's lives
for over 100 years? "To provide a safe
place during the out of school time
hours, where children are provided
with opportunities to reach their full
potential and encouraged to pursue
their dreams."
Kids in the kitchen is a fun learning
place to be after school. As Nathaniel,
8, piped up to say, "I liked the
smoothies!"
