Abstract: In an initiative to improve the health of children in Pitt County, an 8-week nutritional curriculum was administered to elementary aged children at Grady White Boats Boys and Girls Club. With the first and last week being dedicated to the pre and post-test, the middle 6 weeks contained interactive learning activities meant to increase the participants’ knowledge of what constitutes healthy foods. An improvement in score on the post-test would indicate an increase in knowledge of nutrition. Out of six participants, four improved on their score, while one maintained their score, and one decreased in their score. It is determined that while there is an average increase in test scores, the sample of the study is too small to draw conclusions.
