“I now do the exercises I learned during the parent workshop at PS 157. I do not have a lot of time to exercise, but I learned how to fit it in. For example, I will take a break from cleaning and do crunches.  Not only have I started exercising, but my daughter has started exercising during commercials when she is watching t.v.  In addition to exercising, my children are now reading labels on the back of foods.”

“My child started to try beans, broccoli, lettuce. She is more aware about the sugars and calories in each product I buy. She is excited to share new recipes she tries at school. I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and please keep up the good work. Thanks for a healthy change in diet and life as well.”

“FAN4Kids is important for my children because they need to learn more about nutrition. My children naturally move, but knowing what foods they should be eating is extremely helpful as they continue to grow.  I have noticed my children enjoy the food tastings and become more involved with healthy choices.  They even ask me to buy them the healthy foods they try during FAN4Kids!”

PS 157 Parent

“My 3rd grade child lost 25 pounds, and my child helped change the behaviors of the entire family to eating healthy and being more active. I lost more weight than that, because we do things as a family. And Annette (the FAN4Kids instructor) made healthy living easy.”
