Impact Report Kids Kows & More/Progressive Farm Safety Day Camp “Who Wants To Be a Germ Buster?” was the subject matter presented at the Kid, Kows, and More Day Camp and the Progressive Farm Safety Day Camp. The Home Economist along with the Eddy County Home Economist team-taught nutrition lessons on how to fight bacteria and keeping our food safe. A puppet show and a “food safety train” model were used as teaching props to reinforce the teaching concepts. Approximately 1300 third graders and 750 fourth graders along with their teachers and parents gained knowledge in the importance of hand washing, refrigerating foods, washing fruits and vegetables and keeping counters clean. Evaluation forms were filled out at both events and there were many positive comments about this workshop. One teacher commented that she “loved the visuals used as it really made the lesson fun for the kids.”
