In May of 2008, 71 8th grade students from Crownpoint Jr. High completed the teen series of “Kitchen Creations” A cooking school for people with diabetes and their families in May of 2008.

They increased their knowledge about, 50/50 Method for planning meals and snacks, they learned the concept of serving sizes of different fruit, vegetables and other foods, they prepared healthy snacks, and they were introduced to new fruit and vegetables. The series substitutes the meals for healthy snacks and includes some of the activities that the adult program includes. Other resources used in this series A Young Person’s Guide to Good Food, What is Diabetes?, Who Gets Diabetes?, and Choosing Foods at Meals and Snacks. Evaluations showed that the majority of students valued the importance of the lessons and would continue to use that knowledge in the future. All the students received a certificate for participating in all four sessions. Sandra Madewell, the 8th grade teacher indicated that the series would be very important for her students, because many of the youth in the community are obese or overweight. |
