We're 'Dining In' on December 3rd - Celebrate FCS Day!
|
Family & Consumer Sciences Day recognizes AAFCS Founder Ellen Swallow Richards, first woman graduate of MIT, whose birthday is December 3rd.
You can join us in the celebration by taking the pledge to prepare a healthy family meal and "Dine In" on December 3rd. Research has shown that the whole family benefits from family mealtime by having better nutrition, improving family communication, fostering family traditions, and teaching life skills, such as meal planning, budgeting, and food preparation. Our goal is for 200,000 families to make and eat a healthy meal together on December 3rd. |
