The Menifee County SNAP-ED Assistant partnered with the Menifee County School District, to present six lessons from MyPlate and Eat Smart to Play Hard curriculum to twenty-five summer school students in grades k-5. Pre and post evaluations showed student improvements as follows: kids being active 67 %, healthy snacks 67%, vegetable identification 50%, dairy 50%, fruit identification 50 % , hand washing before eating 67 % and drinking less fruit flavored and sports drinks 57%. One student was always apprehensive to participate in physical activities and games, but by the end of the program the student was very active and having a good time.
