RIVERSIDE, Calif.– Dozens of children shadowed their parents at work as part of Altura Credit Union’s “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.” The day gives kids a glimpse into how their parents spend their day at work.
The day began with a welcome breakfast. For two hours for the youngsters to shadow their parent, followed by an outdoor lunch, a financial literacy program (depending on the child’s age) and a kid-friendly movie. Children aged 2 to 17 could participate in the day’s events.
The two-hour parent-child lunch break provided a celebratory atmosphere. The Feeding Frenzy Food Truck served a carnival-inspired lunch of chicken strips, corn dogs, fries and mozzarella sticks. Sweets included five kinds of funnel cakes, deep-fried Twinkies and Snickers, and snow cones from Kona Ice. Carnival games, Petals the Clown and a photo booth rounded out the activities in theparking area outside Altura.
Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day marked its 23th anniversary this year.
