Tonight at 6 p.m. via Zoom, Zoe Kobrin from the Wellness Foundation will help teenagers understand healthy food choices and the tactics that food marketers use to sell their products. Those who complete a survey following the event will be awarded community service hours.
Fathers Day is coming up, so this teen take-and-make project is appropriate, "coupon books" to give as gifts to dads and other dudes. Just make sure to follow through on those pledges of washing the dishes and taking out the trash, of course! Materials can be picked up tomorrow at the library from 3 to 5 p.m. For kids ages 8 to 11, a separate Fathers Day craft session will be held online Tuesday at 4 p.m., with materials available to be picked up in the children's room ahead of time.
