In the New Year, the Winnipeg Foundation is kicking off the Recipe for Success Video Cooking Contest with the goal of getting kids in Grades 4-6 talking about, preparing and eating healthy food. The contest kicks off January 13.
*****
Research shows the best way to get kids to eat healthy food is by getting them involved in preparing it. That’s why the Recipe for Success Video Cooking Contest aims to nourish the potential of Winnipeg kids by getting them talking about, preparing and eating healthy sandwiches.
The contest, which kicks off January 13, encourages kids in Grades 4-6 to create their most outrageous, nutritious and delicious sandwich and share it in a video entry to win.
Up for grabs is one of three $500 grants to support healthy food at a school or community organization, one of five Junior Master Chef Culinary Adventures at Red River College’s School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts, plus the winning sandwich recipe will be featured at Red River’s Culinary Exchange restaurant.
Here’s how to enter the Recipe for Success Contest:
- Grab a group of two to four kids in Grades 4-6.
- Create the most outrageous, nutritious and delicious sandwich.
- Make a video – up to three minutes in length – demonstrating how to make the sandwich.
- Submit the video between January 13, 2014 and March 14, 2014.
- Visit www.wpgfdn.org/recipe-for-success for complete contest details.
Why is The Winnipeg Foundation spearheading this initiative? We believe all kids have a right to healthy and affordable food. We fund a variety of programs that help kids access healthy food and cooking skills, including supporting the Child Nutrition Council (in-school food access) and through our Nourishing Potential Endowment Fund (after-school food access, cooking skills development and nutrition education).
I am asking that students plan their video at home with their group, but I am willing to film them during a lunch hour if they are interested.
As always, please email me if you have any questions.
