Healthy Habits Today. Bright Futures Tomorrow.

What if one afternoon could inspire a child to make healthier choices, become more confident with money, and create lasting memories with their family?

That's the vision behind our upcoming Cooking Up Literacy event in partnership with Chase Bank – Dacula Branch.

Imagine a child proudly learning their first money-saving tip from a Chase team member. A few minutes later, they're creating a colorful no-bake chocolate blueberry parfait alongside their parent, discovering that healthy food can be delicious, fun, and easy to make. As families read, cook, and laugh together, they're also building habits that support lifelong success.

At What's Stirring Family Foundation, we believe preparing children for the future means caring for the whole child. Academic success is important, but so are healthy bodies, wise financial choices, and strong family connections. When children learn to nourish both their minds and their bodies while developing healthy financial habits, they gain skills that will serve them for years to come.

This message is beautifully reflected in Dr. Daneell Moore's copyrighted essay, Treat Yourself Like a Treasure (© 2025 Tectonic Village Press), where Coach Dee reminds the children, "Real success isn't just about grades or goals. It's about your whole self—mind, body, and spirit—working together." Every healthy meal, every book shared, and every smart financial decision is another way of teaching children that they are valuable and worth investing in.

We are deeply grateful to our community partners for making this event possible. Chase Bank – Dacula Branch is generously providing the Money Smart Kids financial literacy experience, the free backpacks filled with school supplies, and the ingredients for our delicious no-bake blueberry chocolate chips parfaits.

We also extend our sincere thanks to Costco for donating the cooking supplies needed for our hands-on recipe activity. Their generosity demonstrates the power of community partnerships in helping families learn, grow, and thrive together.

We invite your family to join us for an afternoon of learning, healthy eating, literacy, and fun!
