Event Details

We are excited to begin a series of After School Programs for ages 7 -12 that will focus each month on a different topic. This month we are celebrating pizza as National Pizza Day falls on February 9th. 

We will share the story of “Pizza! A Slice of History” by Greg Pizzoli, which offers pizza facts, legends and trivia. 

Do YOU like PIZZA? Because right now, somewhere in the world, someone is eating it. Did you know that in the United States we eat 350 slices of pizza every second? Or that in Sweden they serve pizza with bananas and peanuts? All over the world, people love pizza—but where did it come from? And who made the first pizza?

Join award-winning author and illustrator Greg Pizzoli as he travels through time and around the globe to discover the mouth-watering history of pizza. Bursting with color, flavor, fun facts, and a family-friendly English muffin pizza recipe, Pizza!: A Slice of History reveals the delicious story of the world's best food.

After the story we'll have pizza related activities and/or crafts and share some freshly made pizza!

Join in the fun! Monthly registration is required.
