AJLI Kids In the Kitchen 

The Junior League of Omaha (JLO) puts Kids in the Kitchen each March during National Nutrition Month.  From the kid's point of view, it's all about having a great time in the kitchen making tasty food.  But it's also about kids getting what they need from what they eat.  Kids in the Kitchen happens in 230 cities during National Nutrition Month. 

The 3^rd Annual Kids in the Kitchen (KIK) is scheduled for Friday, March 7^th at the Hy-Vee on 78^th and Cass from 5:30-7:30 pm.  This year we are teaming up with the Great Plains Girl Scouts Council. 

Volunteer shift times are 5-8 pm.  To volunteer for the 3^rd Annual Kids in the Kitchen, please contact Tina Nelson or sign up at a general meeting.    

The JLO has teamed up with various community partners in the past and last year Campfire U.S.A. helped recruit fifty middle school 'chefs' for the experience. The kids took part in a hands on cooking class with everything from kitchen basics and staying safe to reading nutrition labels. No doubt the highlight of the evening was a scavenger hunt in the store to learn just how many unique, wholesome options are out there. The evening was capped off with a healthy snack.
