In partnership with the Cynthiana Library to educated the youth of the importance of reading and nutrition. A youth class was organized using the LEAP curriculum

A small group of kindergarten through second grade came together every other week, one hour for 9 weeks at the Cynthiana Library to learn about the importance of nutrition. Through stories, games, and hands on recipes the post test results showed 100% of the children can now recognize nonphysical activity from physical activity, when to wash their hands, healthy snacks and 4 of the 5 food groups. They improved their knowledge of the dairy group by 75%. The children would come to class excited to share recipes they were now making at home.
