In Carter County, 71 out of every 1000 children live in Foster Care. The Carter County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Assistant Senior went to the Olive Hill Elementary School and taught Wellness In Kentucky (WIN) to all the all three 4th grade class rooms.
While teaching WIN, the students learned healthy eating habits, and a wide variety of physical activities.
COVID-19 impacted teaching WIN, as the students finished their year with NTI packets, the NEP Assistant sent home Exit Survey for the students to complete, however, none of those were returned back, so that data remains incomplete.
