Ringgold County Parents as Teachers is offering “Loving Your Family, Feeding Their Future” nutritional education series free of charge to qualifying families as part of the ISU Extension and Outreach Program. Classes began January 25 at 5:30 PM at the Ringgold County Senior Activities Center located at 110 N. Taylor Street in Mount Ayr. Classes are also scheduled for February 8 and February 22, at 5:30 PM at the same location.
As part of the class, participants prepare and enjoy a light meal together while being educated on a variety of physical and nutritional health topics. Ringgold County Parents as Teachers staff Robin McDonnell, RN, and Jennifer Creveling, Parent Educator, are certified to teach this series.
A total of five sessions will be scheduled throughout January through March. Participants do not have to attend every session, but those who complete a minimum number of sessions will receive a certificate as well as a “bag of goodies” for finishing the program. Please call Ringgold County Public Health at 641-464-0691 to reserve your spot since space is limited. We are currently assessing the need for child care.
