Collapse ▲Kim Terrell, Family and Consumer Science Agent with the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Clay County Center, had a busy spring with Clay County Schools. Terrell spent time with Mrs. Rhinehardt’s Foods and Nutrition classes teaching students the art of jelly making. Students learned the basics of food preservation, specifically water bath canning. On March 18th, faculty and staff participated in a wellness day where Terrell offered information on the benefits of antioxidants and reduced sugar snacks. Staff were able to prepare and taste hummus, protein energy bites, ginger shots and trail mix. Mr. Brown’s Ag and Horticulture classes benefited from a grant through the SNAP Ed Steps to Health Program. Mr. Brown was able to purchase tools and equipment to help students tend to their plants in the greenhouse and raised garden beds. Part of the grant program is to also include a nutrition lesson for students in which Kim spoke on the benefits of growing your own vegetables. Students were able to taste fresh pico de gallo, emphasizing herbs and vegetables they can grow at home. Lastly, Kim provided the Kids Club wellness program to the Discovery Afterschool program. This is the 3rd year Extension has partnered with the afterschool program to provide students with nutrition lessons, fitness activities, prizes and yummy taste tests of healthy snacks.
