| Impact Report | Kids, Kows and More is an excellent learning opportunity for the 4th grade students in Chaves and Eddy County. Over 1300 were in attendance to this day camp. This program takes place each spring with the help of organizations like Southwest Dairy Farmers, Farm Bureau and other area agriculture organizations and businesses. This hands-on learning opportunity provides the student with knowledge about basic agriculture crops and resources produced in their county. This opportunity will help students have a better appreciation of how agriculture impacts their lives. The home economist attends monthly meetings to help plan this event and is responsible for meal at this event. This year, the home economist along with the Eddy County home economist presented a “Who Wants To Be a Germ Buster, a nutritional lesson 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. Participants gained knowledge in the importance of hand washing, refrigerating foods, washing fruits and vegetables and keeping counters clean. |
