This Wednesday, August 7, our partners at Community Action House will be here to share information with families on importance of fueling your body through food and how to build healthy eating habits at home. Children will be able to learn through a fun and interactive activity using fresh fruit and veggies and get a free fruit or vegetable temporary tattoos!

Smoothie Bike
Corewell Health’s popular Smoothie Bike is back! Children can pedal a stationary bike to blend their own smoothies to sample…both with and without spinach! Will your child taste the “sneaky spinach” difference? Children will have the opportunity to learn about healthy eating and bring home their own smoothie recipes to try, courtesy of the Corewell’s CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) team, who travel the area teaching healthy eating habits to local schools.
