Kids in the Kitchen

May 2, 2009 ? Lakeview High School, Battle Creek

The Junior League of Battle Creek's nutrition project, Kids in the Kitchen, is part of the Association of Junior League International’s initiative to address the increasing rates of childhood obesity in our country.

“The Junior League of Battle Creek is working to find ways to help our community make healthier choices. Kids in the Kitchen is just one way to help parents engage their children in making healthy meals and exercising while having fun” said Kate Segal, past Chair of the Nutrition Project for the Junior League of Battle Creek.

Children participating in the event will enjoy a day including fun dance exercise routines, nutrition classes, and healthy cooking and eating instruction with chef Sean Kelly of BiCi Bistro. 

In today’s busy lifestyles, it’s hard to make healthy choices. One past participant, Carolyn Johnson knows just how difficult that can be. “I very much enjoyed our experience,” said Carolyn Johnson, a grandmother raising her 10-year-old granddaughter. “These types of workshops help to reinforce to both my granddaughter and me the healthy choices we need to make.”
