Author: Anita Jones

Planning Unit: Carter County CES

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Carter County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Assistant Senior visits various schools in Carter and one school in Elliott County.  The NEP assistant goes once a month and reads a book to the students with the Literacy, Eating, Activity for Primary (LEAP) Program.  Each time she visits the student’s sample something new.  When sampling each new thing, one thing that had a significant impact for first time triers was go-gurt.   There are a total of 274 students, 71 of which have never tried go-gurt before and 218 of them liked it and would eat it again.  When looking at those numbers, that is a success with dairy.  One little boy said, “This is the best thing I have had all week!”
