Statistics show that 2 out of 3 students are unprepared for life after high school. Therefore proving that far too many students lack the social and transitional skills needed to adequately enter the “real world” and cope with the demands of everyday adult life. With more than 65% of students being unprepared to take on life and/or social success, we raised the question: “Are schools teaching and preparing students with the essential social and life skills needed for a successful transition to adulthood?” (www.stanfield.com/blog/2015/02/lifesmart-curriculum-white-paper-social-and-life-skills/) Partnering with Lloyd High School Family resource Center and Counseling program Kenton county 4-H program is making sure the seniors graduating in 2019 will leave high school with cooking skills, The 4-H program met with every Senior to learn cooking skills. During this time the students learned how to use a knife and the proper way to cut vegetables. How to measure food, how to store food and how to maintain a healthy diet after High school. Using these skills the seniors then take the items they have prepared and make an omelet. At the end of the program all of the students felt they could prepare a meal for themselves when they leave home after graduation.
