Healthy Habits

Nebraska Extension's Healthy Habits Program is a program developed for youth in the 5th & 6th grade.  Healthy Habits has been taking place for the last 9 years in our Southwest Nebraska area.  Educators along with other area specialist work with the youth to help them make aware of healthy choices while learning how to prepare healthy meals, snacks, and keeping active.  This is an interactive program where the youth learn how to make simple meals and snacks and the best part, they get to sample what they have made.  The Healthy Habit Program works with area schools and will be doing the program in five different areas over the next two months.
