Community Partners for Kids' Award
from Shelton School District
The WSU Food Sense Nu-
trition Education Program
was proud to accept the Shel-
ton School District's Commu-
nity Partners for Kids' Award
at the SSD Board meeting on
Dec. 13, 2011. Also recog-
nized at the board meeting
were: Mount Moriah Lodge
#11, Shelton Kiwanis. Child
Protective Services, Mt. Olive
Lutheran Church, S~teph's
Espresso. and Jamba Juice
of Westfield Mall. All of these
organizations have made a
difference for the students
in Shelton School District
schools.
The Washington State
University Food Sense Nu-
trition Program has been ac-
tive ira Shelton schools since
1999. S~nce that time the pro-
gram has grown to all three
elementary schools. Olympic
Middle School. and Oakland
Bay Jr. High, employing five
nutrition educators and ~wo
AmeriCorps members.
Educators take cooking
utensils and food into the
classrooms and students
learn about healthy choices
and taste healthy food. Nutri-
tion educator Pamela Lyons
coined the term "Adventure
Bite". When a student tastes
a new food, they are taking
their mouth on a new adven-
ture. This has resulted in a
marked increase in consump-
tion of fruits and vegetables
during lunch in the schools.
School gardens at Mt.
View and Evergreen Elemen-
tary schools enable students
to learn about where their
food comes from and they can
actually grow their own food
at the school. Students from
Olympic Middle School work
with HOPE Garden nex~
to Mason General Hospital
through a partnership with
Jump Start after school pro-
gram at the school.
Pre and pos~ evaluations
are conducted with students
m grades 3 - 8. The outcomes
have shown behavior change
m students for topics that in-
clude food safety, identifying
recommended number of serv-
ings needed daily, using food
labels to identify healthy op-
tions, participating in 60 min-
utes of physical activity daily,
eating breakfast, and identify-
mg low cost food options. For
the 2010 school year, 1,423
SSD students received a mini-
mum of 5 lessons, with a max-
1mum of 25 lessons during the
school year. Average length
of each .lesson is 51 minutes,
with lessons being 45 - 70
minutes long.
WSU Extension programs
and employment are avail-
able to all without discrimi-
nation. Evidence of non-
compliance may be reported
through your local Extension
office.
