Orange County Reggio Roundtable Quarterly Meeting
Wednesday, July 19, 2017
**6:30 – 8:00 p.m. (please note the earlier starting time)
St. Paul’s Preschool, Tustin 1221 Wass Street
TOPIC: The Language of Food
Come join us as we explore the preschool’s garden and the concept of farm to market nutrition and wellness. We will gather first in the garden at 6:30 to harvest some plants and then make a communal salad to share. With the rise of obesity, food insecurities, health and nutrition this topic is of vital interest. If you have any home grown veggie and fruits, feel free to contribute to share!
Other topics that we will discuss include how food supports growth throughout all developmental domains; the benefits of connecting children to their food source; guidelines for parents as well as consultant Melisa Falco from Juice Plus who will present nutritional eating habits through the concept of “Eating the Rainbow.’ We will also hand out some of our favorite kid – made recipes.
We have set a limit to a maximum of 30 participants so you will need to sign up promptly through [email protected] by 7/14 Friday. We ask that you are firmly committed to attending before you sign up as we will be turning others away from this event. If you cannot make it, please contact to us as we have to prepare and purchase the materials.
Please stay connected to our web site and Facebook page to see what exciting new workshops we will be offering.
