CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Pomo School will host its second annual “Family Fooducation Fair” on Tuesday, March 17.

The fair will be held from 5:15 to 7:15 p.m. at the school, 3350 Acacia St., Clearlake.

This event is free to the public.

After the great success from last year's event, organizers say this year will be bigger, tastier and much more filling.

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 healthy meal.

The goal for this event is multi-faceted. 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 the community's families by giving them 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.
