CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Thursday, Feb. 27, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Pomo School will host its first “Family Fooducation Fair” night.

Within the event, there will be booths offering information on how to make it easier to access food, especially for those with limited resources.

There will be tables showcasing tasty and healthy food recipes for affordable prices. Tables also will offer suggestions on how to involve the children in making food, as well as gardening tips and suggestions for simple and affordable gardens.

The grand attraction of the event will be the cooking presentations. Local chefs/culinary programs will have the chance to show those who attend how to make an affordable meal.

The goal for this event is multifaceted. Family Fooducation wants to increase the engagement of the parents and students on school campus. This gives the families an opportunity to get to know the staff and the facility better.

Organizers also want to increase the health of our families in our community by giving families the information they need to make the right decisions for proper nutrition. A healthy student in school is much more apt to succeed than a malnourished student.

By giving parents tips on how their children can help with this process also increases the parent and child involvement on activities they can do together at home.

Visit Pomo School to learn, eat and take home the information you and your children need to have a healthy lifestyle. This event is free to the public.
