The Junior League of Nashville is excited to enter its third year with our Kids in the Kitchen event. This one-day event, hosted in the Spring at a local community organization, teaches nearly 200 young girls, ages 9 - 11, how to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Many local experts graciously volunteer their time to work with these young girls. The experts include celebrity chefs, community television personalities, local physicians, registered dieticians, and even Champ, the beloved mascot for the Monroe Carell, Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Throughout the event, the girls cycle through eight - ten "stations" doing everything from making healthy snacks, learning how to Zumba, discovering proper food portions, walking one mile, and even playing a food-themed game show. In 2011, the Junior League of Nashville is excited to expand our event to reach more girls and feature additional stations. We look forward to the 2011 Kids in the Kitchen event being our best ever!
