21st Century Grant Partnership Teaches Healthy Living

Author: Stacey Potts

Planning Unit: Daviess County CES

Major Program: Family and Consumer Sciences 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Building Life Skills in Youth

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Daviess County 4-H provided a series of six healthy living based programs for eighteen 3rd -5th grade after school program students at Estes Elementary as a 21st Century grant partner.  The school is located in a low-income area next to the Rolling Heights apartments, operated by the Owensboro Housing Authority.  The lessons included proper breathing activities and techniques for calming and stress relief, proper hand-washing, stretching exercises and healthy snacking. For healthy snacks the youth had the opportunity to make turkey tortilla roll-ups and strawberry or blueberry yogurt parfaits.  By show of hands, approximately 50% of the youth tried something new for each of the healthy snack sessions.
