The document summarizes a 3 hour event at the Lois Martin Community Center for around 35 children from the Dixie Manor subsidized housing community. The event, called KITK, taught the children about living healthy lifestyles through fun activities like growing herbs, exercising through yoga and jump rope, cooking a nutritious meal, and making healthy snacks like yogurt parfaits. The children took what they learned home by planting the herbs and receiving goodie bags of healthy snacks.
