According to Kids Count Date, Laurel County was ranked eighty fifth in Kentucky for overall children’s wellbeing. The Laurel County Cooperative Extension Service Expanded Food Nutrition Education Program Assistant met with fifty-five kindergarten students at Campground Elementary. Six classes were taught using Discover My Plate curriculum. Ninety Five percent learned how to name the five MY Plate food groups and were able to identify food choices within each group.  They learned the importance of eating foods from all five food groups for good health.  They tried fruits and vegetables with different colors and learned importance of eating half of their plate with fruits and vegetables.  One parent reported to the teacher that her child wanted carrots and broccoli and she had offered her vegetables with dip days before and she wouldn’t try them.  The girl told her mother that her friend tried them in class and liked them, so she tried them too.  Educating our children is one of the best ways to change healthy practices for their health and wellbeing.   The opportunity in a classroom setting provided the children the means to learn and try new foods.
