21  Cooking Classes : ◦ Urban Relish- a local group of chefs, provides are larger food demonstrations and a full cooking class. Children and parents participate in a cooking class, and then eat the food they prepared during our end of cycle family celebration ◦ Chefs provide basic tips on a stocking a healthy kitchen. They provide recipes and assist families with menu planning

22  Children complete surveys and the changes families make in their approach to food and exercise are assessed  We track physical progress through the session  Through a previous grant partnership, the University of Minnesota helped us to respond to program data and adapt the program for ongoing success.

23  Recent cycle data highlights: 24 participants ◦ Over 70% of the kids completed a 30minute run by the end of the 12 weeks (most starting at less than 6minutes) ◦ 2 parents completed a 30minute run ◦ 1 family with 100% attendance ◦ 4 other families with near perfect attendance ◦ Several kids returning for a repeat cycle (our data is showing we need 18 months of engagement) ◦ 3 kids going out for a new sport ◦ 1 family completed a 5K Run together

24 ◦ Improvements in all physical activity measures ◦ Improvements in weight (wide range of loss with 2lbs-22pounds this cycle) But all patients maintained or lost weight during the 12 weeks, while adding muscle from training
