On October 17th, participants attended the Sister’s Together class on campus in Pinkie Thrift.  Ms. Kiyana Kelly introduced the idea of SMART Goals, allowing listeners to create and identify realistic goals. She also discussed breaking unhealthy habits and understanding the importance of variety in our vegetables. The group was able to practice transforming habits with a food demonstration over vegetables. They participated in a hands-on food demonstration preparing Veggie Pinwheels.
