Underwood Gets Healthy

Students and parents were treated to fun, food and health tips.

Parents and students were treated to a night of fun, games, and  nutritious food last Tuesday night at Underwood Elementary School.  About 75 guests had the chance to sample foods, learn helpful health tips, and play games on the playground.

Chef Jess from Kids First showed the guests how to sauté vegetables on a grill then add them to their pizzas, cooked using the same grill.  They were also given fresh fruit salad and consumer tips from Cindy Llamas, of the RI Food Bank. Sodexho provided the pizza ingredients.

While the parents were receiving the  nutrition information, the kids were getting active by playing games like kickball, parachutes, pogo sticks, basketball, and hula hoops.
