Outcome: Initial Outcome
This school year came with uncertainty whether students would be in the classroom. As COVID-19 has brought many new changes within the school system; facial coverings for all students and staff being the biggest change. As part of the Face Coverings for Kids Initiative, Ballard County Extension Homemakers and FCS agent made seven hundred twenty-two (722) sewn cloth face coverings for Ballard County Elementary School students. Which were delivered before class began on August 26th. All the materials for the face coverings were donated by local community members from Hancock’s Fabric in Paducah, KY. The school also provided a pattern along with instruction on creating the coverings.
