Planning Unit: Bullitt County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Plan of Work: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Bullitt County Extension Service partneredwith the Bullitt County School Board to continue the 21st Century 150,00 Grant for Brooks Elementary School.  Four educational classes were offered afterschool to emphasize the need for good nutrition and physical activity. A 10 week program, “Be A Super Healthy Hero”, was implemented focusing on healthy eating and activity behaviors.  Of the 25 minority participants, six children reported completing the highest level of physical activity, eating fruits and vegetables and drinking enough water. One parent stated that the program helped their “whole family “start eating more healthy” and it led to more family discussions on making “better choices” and trying different foods.
