Mercer County Senior Nutrition Education Program Assistant partnered with Mercer County Elementary Family Resource Center to conduct an afterschool program for K-2 students using the LEAP curriculum. Each month, the NEP would read a story to the children with each story containing information about healthy foods to assist the children in learning to identify different foods. MyPlate was also shown to the children each month so that they could learn what food group each food belonged to. Handwashing lessons were presented so the children could learn the importance of why and when to wash their hands. A game would be played so the children could get physical activity each time. The NEP provided a snack each month to assist children in learning to identify what food group each snack belonged in on MyPlate. The children were encouraged to check each meal they ate to see if they were eating a variety of different food groups. Each month, the children were introduced to a new food to try to see if they would like it such as sliced sweet potato. 100% tried the food each month with 90% of the class stating they liked each food item. Additionally, 90% stated they would like to have the food again.
