On Thursday, Feb. 14, from 4 to 6 p.m., Bon Appétit would like to invite the faculty and staff’s elementary school-aged children (K-5) to the kitchen for a workshop featuring activities in healthy eating and cooking.

In this fun and interactive program, Bon Appetit chefs and educators will turn Canyon Commons into a hands-on cooking class for kids, demonstrating how fruits and vegetables can be transformed into a healthy meal. By learning about the connection between what they eat and their ability to do what they enjoy, children will go home with a newfound power to make better choices for their health.

You are welcome to accompany your child during the program, or you can leave him/her with us and use the time for your own productivity. If you choose to leave, we encourage you to join us for our “Healthy Kids Picnic” during the final 20 minutes of the program.

This workshop is free but space is limited; please register here.

Students in Sue O’Donnell’s Adolescent Development class are doing some unofficial research on the lived experiences of Latino adolescents growing up under the poverty line, and how that has affected their life outcomes.

Did your identity as a Latino adolescent make you feel other than those around you? How did living under the poverty line affect the formation of your self-identity? Have you been able to achieve your goals?

If this resonates with your (or your friend’s) experiences, we want to hear about it! We want to make sure we are representing your experiences accurately. Please fill out this quick survey. All responses are anonymous. Questions?

The training program is designed to prepare students, faculty and staff for a 5K, 10K or half marathon of their choice.
