Impact Report Home Economics School 2011 Sixty eight youth participated in the 2011 Home Economics School. The Torrance County Home Economist has continued involvement in the state 4-H Home Economics School. The Torrance County Home Economist served as the Community Service Project Chair for the 2011 Home Economic School event. The Agent worked together with several Extension 4-H Home Ec Agents and developed three community service projects to be completed by 4-H Home Ec School youth. The first project coincided with Housing and Interior design where youth created napkin rings as part of a decoration on a table to be used at meal time at Senior Centers throughout Valencia County. The second project worked hand in hand with Food Preservation and Gifts from the Home. The youth completed Bean Soup Jars filled with six types of beans along with spices and soup directions. The jars were touched up with fabric and ribbon; the jars were donated to the Operation Military Kids community service project. The last community service project coincided with Creative Touches. Sock puppets were created as a gift to give to cancer patients. The Agent worked diligently with many colleagues to collect workshop material donations as well as maintain budget requirements. The youth gained knowledge in citizenship by participating in the community service projects. A total of 6 youth from Torrance County attended the event.
