| Impact Report | I CAN In the last year the Lea County I CAN program has remained steady in the youth and adult participants. To begin the year the County Action Plan was completed, and goals and objectives were discussed the State Coordinator. In May 2011 a second nutrition educator was hired and trained for the programming efforts that would take place during the remainder of the year. Each of the educators have worked within the Hobbs and Lovington School Districts to provide nutrition education to the elementary school-age youth in the county. Their goals for youth graduates has been reached or exceeded. Adult classes have been more challenging to schedule. A partnership was set up with the Nor Lea Hospital to begin setting up classes through their community outreach—those classes are still being coordinated. Several onetime programs have been set up throughout the county through the schools like Earth Day at Taylor Elementary School in Hobbs or extension programs like the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day. The educators have presented the My Pyramid and Food Safety presentations to the youth and adults present. |
