WIN with Dairy

Author: Shannon Smith

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Plan of Work: Making Healthy Choices

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Bracken County FCS Agent collaborated with the local school, Bracken County Middle School and their 21st century grant program to offer some lessons on nutrition.The lesson came from WIN (Wellness in Kentucky) curriculum on the B.O.N.E.S lesson with the milk challenge.A pre and posttest was given.There were 50 students and 5 adults participating.  Bracken is a rural area with just 2 local grocery stores so access to different sources of food is limited.  Many of these students are from at risk families as they are given priority when signing up for the afterschool program.  The students were taught the importance of milk and why we need it.  The MyPlate lesson on 1% or less was discussed and why we need to eat or drink less fat with our dairy products.  We went over basic information about dairy cows.  A hands on display was taught with food replicas and the students had to put the food in order of most to least calcium content.We did the milk challenge with the students trying 4 different types of milk, whole, Fat Free, and Soy.  The favorite milk was 2% overall.  4 of the students who had never tried Soy Milk before decided it was their favorite.  At the end of the class according to the post test, 90% of the students knew that they needed 1300 milligrams and milk builds strong bones and teeth.
