Success Story Dancing to the Beat



Dancing to the Beat

Author: Barbara Campbell

Planning Unit: Fleming County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Initial Outcome

~~Participants of the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren group meet monthly with the SNAP-Ed assistant in Fleming County.   With the focus being on lack of exercise of the grandchildren and how to get them up going, lessons from the Healthy Choices for Every Body curriculum and suggestions from the Teen Cuisine Leaders Guide were combined and discussed with the class by the Nutrition Education Assistant along with the Family Focus Resource Coordinator. Before the class ended participants were given the Make a Change, Start at Home DVD reinforcement item.  One of the grandmothers has since reported that her granddaughter was wanting to lose some weight and she now puts in the DVD and dances to it. She said even if she doesn’t lose weight she is still having a ball just dancing to the beat.
