The Loveland Schools Child Nutrition Department is putting on a workshop for children and families called “Power Up and Healthy Eating” on Wednesday, April 7, from 6-8 pm in the Loveland Intermediate School Cafeteria.

 The Power Up and Healthy Eating Workshop, funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Education, is designed to let parents know how to “power up” their children with healthy meals and physical activity.  Free child care and a healthy snack will be provided.

 Families will…

·         learn about the school lunch program and how it can be a part of a healthy diet for their children

·         how to use MyPyramid and portion sizes to prepare family meals that fit within their budget. 

·         receive a free cookbook and bag of health-related goodies.

 Children are invited to attend and participate in a program for kids about nutrition and enjoy physical activity led by Loveland physical education teachers.  There will also be door prizes including a Body Bugg, pedometers, steel water bottles, aprons, memo tablets and pens. There is no cost for the workshop, but reservations are required.
