During the Fall and Winter of 2019 the Fayette County Snap Education Assistant partnered with Fayette County 4H to provide nutrition education lessons to 27 5th grade students at Julius Marks Elementary School. Over a period of 8 classes using the Teen Cuisine curriculum they taught the participants how to choose and prepare healthy meals, how to make sure their food is prepared safely, and shown new ideas for how to increase their physical activity.

In order to ensure that their outreach goals were met the students completed pre and post questionnaires. Upon graduation from the program 74% of participants had shown an improvement in their diet quality. In addition, 59% of students showed an increase in their knowledge of food safety procedures. The results from the evaluations shows the development of skills and habits that will lead the students into a healthy adulthood.
