| Impact Report | The Home Economist presented a workshop on food safety to 3rd and 4th grade students and teachers who attended the Chaves County Progressive Agriculture Safety Days and the Kids, Kows, and More event. A puppet show, “Who Wants to Be A Germ Buster?” featuring ‘Bac’, the bacteria puppet was used to present basic components of food safety. Hand washing, preventing cross contamination, and serving food safely were some of the concepts taught during the workshop. A game show activity was used to review the concepts taught in the puppet show, and the participants enjoyed the interactive learning. Teachers who attended the events stated that the food safety subject matter was important for the youth to learn and appreciated the workshop being included at each event. Over 2000 youth and adults participated in both of the events. |
