Our Next Family Focus Event: Books & Cooks
Posted Date: 10/20/26 (01:14 PM)
HLA Families,
I wanted to share a great opportunity with you. The University of Florida offers a FREE 12-week program called Books & Cooks that combines reading, healthy eating, and fun family activities.
Each week, participating families receive a free book, take part in hands-on reading and nutrition activities, and receive dinner, childcare, and fresh fruits and vegetables at no cost.
I encourage you to take a look at the attached flyer and see if this is something your family might enjoy. I think it's a great way to spend time together while encouraging a love of reading and building healthy habits!
Our next Family Focus Event will be in-person on Tuesday, November 10th from 6-7 PM. Kim Kohler with Books and Cooks will be presenting all about this program that evening. More information to come about the event itself as it nears, but in the meantime, learn more here: https://lastinger.ufl.edu/learning-lab/books-and-cooks/
