    HARLEM, NY, May 30, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Red Rabbit has partnered with Mott Haven Academy Charter School to host a special Red Rabbit Saturdays , June 16th, 2012. RR Saturdays take place twice a month on Saturday mornings from 10 AM-12 PM at the Red Rabbit kitchen in New York City. In these interactive cooking labs, teachers, parents and children (age 8-13) learn age-appropriate kitchen skills, and learn to work together to make delicious, healthy treats.

"There is a natural synergy between Mott Haven Academy and Red Rabbit," Alison Croney, Director of Education at Red Rabbit says. "Their mission is to remove the barriers to academic success faced by children in the child welfare system." She continues, "At Red Rabbit we believe that good nutrition is essential to a child's academic growth, physical health and behavior."

Red Rabbit is a NYC-based healthy school meal provider to the NY metro area. They are committed to helping all educators, parents and kids understand the importance of nutrition, healthy eating and where food comes from. Red Rabbit Saturdays are one of the innovative educational programs that Red Rabbit offers to the community-at-large to help establish healthy eating habits at not just an early age but any age.

"Red Rabbit Instructors and Special Guest Chefs lead cooking instruction, with a focus on seasonal, healthy and whole foods." Ms. Croney explains, "Afterwards, all participants will sit together to eat the healthy and energy producing lunch that will sustain those feel-good vibes throughout the day." She goes on to say, "The ultimate goal is to show both parents and kids that eating healthy, even in what is called a food-desert, is not beyond reach. We can all live a healthy lifestyle when we are educated how to live it daily.

Red Rabbit Saturdays are open to the public and are offered on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. Group rates are available. For registration or more information, please contact the Red Rabbit Education Team at [email protected]. Or visit Red Rabbit Educational Porgrams.
