| Impact Report | This year, along with Home Economist, the 4-H agent from McKinley County combine with Southwest Dairy Farmers to coordinate and conduct the 1st annual Kids, Kows, and More Program for all second, third and fourth grade students in the Gallup McKinley County School District. Planning for this event began in the fall of 2006 by meeting with the School Board and sending flyers to all the schools within the county, and by partnering with the McKinley Soil and Water District, New Mexico Cowbelles, New Mexico Beef Council and other volunteers. The youth involved include students from Gallup and Ramah Schools attending, with presentations on the dairy industry, horses and their care, 4-H, ranching and cattle production, and the 4-H poultry project. Evaluations remain positive, with many teachers asking for additional hands-on activities. 253 second, third and fourth graders from the Gallup McKinley County schools were educated in the one day program, most according to evaluations leaving with a better understanding of agriculture. The teachers were excited at our first time and have offer to help and spread the word to others. |
