What’s New with Let’s Move! White House Roundtable: Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day

What’s New with Let’s Move! White House Roundtable: Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day

Last week, children of mommy bloggers from across the country packed their backpacks, put on their best, and headed to the White House with pen, paper, and questions in hand, ready for a roundtable with First Lady Michelle Obama marking the 20th anniversary of National Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day.

After hosting a Q&A session with children of White House staff, Mrs. Obama took questions from a smaller audience in the White House Old Family Dining Room. Blogger moms and their little ones met with the First Lady to discuss how they implement Let's Move! in their own lives.



What did these future leaders think of the day? Check out their highlights from the experience:

"It was the best day ever! My favorite part of being at the White House was that I got to meet the First Lady, and that she gave me a hug. And I liked eating lunch in the kitchen!"

Alanna’s mom Lylah Alphonse is from Yahoo! Shine


"My favorite thing was getting to ask Michelle Obama a question. And also, the hummus in the White House kitchen."

“My favorite part of the day was getting advice about high school from Mrs. Obama!”
