Outcome: Initial Outcome

The 4H program continues to do 4H Health Rocks at a local middle school in the county. One of the teachers that conducts the program in her classroom now regularly incorporates Health Rocks activities in her school curriculum. She has been provided lesson plans that helps reinforce her teaching concepts. Each of her classrooms participates in 4 lessons taught by the 4H agent as well. On the next health test her students take in her classroom, one of questions on the exam asks students to list 5 to 7 things they learned by participating in the health rocks activities as a bonus question. The teacher reported that during the last school year, every student in her classroom was able to receive 5 bonus points on their test because they all could name 5 to 7 things they learned from the 4H Health Rocks Program.
