Event Details

Learn about nutrition and simple, healthy recipes from community nutritionist Kerry Leonard. Each session, participants will learn about a different topic related to nutrition and food groups and eat a snack that exemplifies that month’s topic. 

In September, we will discuss the grains food group represented in the MyPlate icon. Kids will learn why grains are an important part of the daily diet, the difference between whole and refined grains, and how to incorporate more whole grains into their meals and snacks.

A program waiver is required for children to enjoy refreshments. You can pick one up at the circulation desk of any Forsyth County Public Library branch or download and print the attached file. Once signed, a program waiver is good for a year. If your participant has allergies or food restrictions, let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
