Hand Washing

Author: Bethony Morris

Planning Unit: Hancock County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Germs are everywhere, is the statement the Expanded Food Nutrition Program Assistant (EFNEP) from the Hancock County Cooperative Extension office used serval times while working with kindergarten-second graders.  Several of the students thought they only needed to wash their hands after being inside a restroom. 

During the program with the students, EFNEP talked about all the times during the day a person should wash their hands.  We discussed how each time you wash your hands it should be for twenty seconds. 

By the end of the program 88% more of the students knew, you must always wash your hands before preparing food to stop the spread of germs.
