Kickstart your New Year’s resolution to eat healthier with Parent University’s first workshop of 2018, which is all about nutrition, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 10 in the Virtual AP Room at Broadalbin-Perth High School.
Join registered dietician Jessica Gottung to get an overview of nutrition for kids, including the federal MyPlate guidelines, role-modeling healthy eating, and getting kids involved in meal planning and preparation. Then, join your children for hands-on activities that include make-your-own snack and smoothie stations. To help with planning, please register for this event online.
Parent University is a community collaboration led by Broadalbin-Perth. Through Parent University, Broadalbin-Perth partners with community agencies and organizations to offer free courses, family events and activities that will equip families with new or additional skills, knowledge, resources and the confidence to become full partners in their children’s education. The goal of Parent University is to increase parent involvement in B-P schools and empower parents to raise children who are successful in school and in life. Research has shown that parents can increase a child’s academic success through their involvement with schools and communities. Parental involvement improves student morale, attitudes, and academic achievement across all subject areas.
