Local Interest
The local 4-H program received a generous donation when two pallets of whole wheat flour were delivered to the Nebraska Extension office in Ord last week. The flour, which was processed and donated by King Arthur Flour, will be packed in kits which 4-H’ers will use to practice making nutritious whole-wheat bread. King Arthur Flour also provided recipe booklets, packets of yeast and bench scrapers to include in the kits.
Extension Educators Kayla Hinrichs and Brenda Aufdenkamp are working to create a self-paced baking club to help 4-H members increase their baking proficiency. As a result, the flour will be distributed in a 17 county region in Central and Western Nebraska.
We know that as a community caring for children and youth, you want answers regarding what to do before, during, and after an emergency event, disaster, or crisis. It is important to remember that all children and youth react differently to major changes in their lives. The Learning Child Interest Group has various resources that may be of help to you and the families, children, and youth in your community. If you have any questions about these resources or email please contact members of the Learning Child interest group at TLC@unl.edu.
FREE on-line, self-paced Cooking Club for Youth Grades: 3 – 8.
