Major Program: LEAP
Plan of Work: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Outcome: Initial Outcome
When the early release of schools prevented LEAP from continuing in person, a virtual approach allowed preschool aged children to still receive LEAP lessons and in turn helped others in their families to receive the information too. The Green County Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences and a Green County Primary School preschool teacher collaborated to offer an online LEAP session for families to participate in. For the online LEAP session, families were given the featured activity ahead of time to allow them to gather needed supplies. Once online, preschool children and their families were given the opportunity to listen to the book “Pizza at Sally’s” and were given instructions on how to make a healthy pizza. 17 preschool aged children participated in the online LEAP session. All children were given the chance to show off their healthy pizzas to their classmates. After the session, all of the families that participated reported that they enjoyed the session and that they were excited to learn ways to make healthy pizzas!
