The Mercer County Nutrition Education Program Assistant partnered with the Family Resource and Community Tutoring Initiative group to serve at-risk children in 1^st and 2^nd grade. The NEP met once a week, for 13 weeks, with this group of children teaching them ways to stay healthy by hand washing, getting physical activity, Identifying food groups, and choosing healthy snacks. The Exploring My Plate with Professor Popcorn curriculum was used, with the school providing the snack. After reviewing the pre-test, the NEP felt she needed to get the children to wash their hands more often. Each week, the NEP would have the children wash their hands before snack, then review why it was important to wash their hands. She would ask the children to Identify foods and the food group to which it belonged. She would also provide My Plate work sheets for the children to complete at home. The children became very familiar with My Plate. By the end of the program, 81% had improved in regular hand washing, with 96% improving in one or more area when identifying or choosing healthy foods.
