Congrats Graduates!

Five of eight total participants from the Carbon County Counseling Center graduated from the Cent$ible Nutrition Program.  Participants were from Saratoga and Rawlins. They really enjoyed the hands-on cooking.  The three that didn't yet graduate have signed up to take the series again soon!  The staff has invited Fio back to do more classes, they absolutely loved having Cent$ible Nutrition in their program.  During this series, they met on Mondays and went through nine classes. 

What the participants had to say...

• "I didn't know how much sugar was getting in my drinks.  I was surprised to know there are about 12 teaspoons of sugar in  sodas.  I was drinking 4 cans of soda everyday.  After doing the 'Think what you Drink' activity, I made a commitment to only drink on can of soda a day."
• "I was not familiar with MyPlate before attending the Cent$ible Nutrition Classes. Now I plan my meals using MyPlate, so I make sure I'm eating healthy foods."
• "I'm planning my menus every week and eating healthier meals since I took the CNP classes."

Cent$ible Nutrition Visits the Boys & Girls Club

Fio taught a "Think your Drink" lesson to 4th graders at the Boys & Girls Club in Rawlins.  They also prepared the Waldrof Salad for snack; the staff was amazed that you could mix fruits and vegetables together in a healthy, yummy salad.

At first, the kids were a little reluctant to try the celery in the salad, but after a little persuasion they tried it, they loved it and they wanted more!  Fio has been invited to do another lesson with the 5th graders.

On-Going Classes

On January 10th, classes were started with the Special Education for Life Skills Program in Rawlins.  They will meet a total of 15 times and so far LOVE the cooking classes and their favorite recipe is the homemade granola.

Teaching to the little guys

Fio taught a fruit lesson to 88 youngsters at Headstart in Rawlins, they got to sample fresh apples and grapes in class.  Most of the kids didn't know that raisins are a fruit.  Fio also visited Wee Folks in Hanna, where she taught a hand-washing lesson to 23 children.  She will be back to Wee Folks for another fun activity in April!
