Young entreprenuer takes healthy to heart

Kasondra
Dear Mike and Christina,

All the kids that come to the Renton/Skyway Boys & Girls Club get to start their day with a healthy breakfast and enjoy a healthy snack after school. In general, kids and teens who eat breakfast have more energy, do better in school, and eat healthier throughout the day. Not only that, but healthy breakfasts can help boost kids’ attention span, concentration, and memory.

Kasondra has been coming to the club for the past three years. She not only enjoys eating a healthy breakfast and snacks, but has also learned how to help prepare the food. Participants in the MicroSociety program, she and two of her friends are partners in a smoothie business. They prepare fresh, delicious mango and strawberry smoothies. When she’s not running her business at the club, she enjoys playing outside with friends and roller skating.

Your donations help us continue to provide healthy food to support our members. Thank you Mike and Christina for your generosity!
