5-2-1-0 FREE Event for Kids: The Importance of Water

Learn about the importance of water with some fun, hands-on activities with Midwest Food Connection's Kristi Pursell. It's not often that you find a child  that does not love sugar and sweets. However, drinking only sugary drinks is anything but healthy. Your kids will discover why drinking "0" sugary drinks are best for overall health and nutrition.*

Through activities that teach about freshwater and how the water cycle is important to our overall food source, kids will attain a better appreciation and understanding of this concept.

*Get your kids on a healthy track this summer with FREE 5-2-1-0 events starting June 25-July 20! This summer program engages your kids, ages 3-11 yrs, in four weeks of healthy activities.  All activities reinforce the program's healthy themes of eating five fruits and vegetables a day, limiting screen time to two hours, getting one hour of exercise, and drinking zero sugary drinks. Kids will receive a coupon for a FREE piece of fruit each week from our wellness department and a chart to track their progress. At the end of the four weeks, turn in your completed chart in our wellness department and you will receive a prize!
