Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Pratt, Kansas was excited to welcome the team from Tufts University to our community. We started off with a welcome reception where Dr. Nelson gave her presentation for our local community and Extension Educators from across the state. The real work began then next day when our local Change Club convened.
  2. The Pratt Change Club is made up of a wide array of individuals within the community. There is a newspaper reporter, a college fitness instructor, elementary school personnel, farm wives, the wife of a County Commissioner, the wife of a School Board member, office professionals, and retirees. They are also involved in not only the StrongWomen program in Pratt but a variety of other organizations in our community including the Pilot Club, church organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, and Garden Club.
  3. Working with Dr. Nelson’s team was an eye-opening and invigorating experience for all of us. We all gained a better understanding of what we can do as individuals and as a community to improve our overall health.
  4. With our noble purpose at the forefront of our planning, we started down our list of activities and worked toward changing the snacking guidelines and overall menu at the Beyond the Bell after school program. This included meetings with the school food supervisor, the assistant school superintendent and the after school program director. Our Change Club took a hands-on approach by personally preparing some of the snacks for the kids.
  5. Step-by-step changes were made and by February, 2012 we were able to pilot test a healthier menu.
  6. Day camp for parent and child in effort to make a lasting difference in a family.
  7. We were part of the Strong Women Across America tour We did a 5-K walk to promote activity and to highlight the need for safe streets. We had a beautiful day in October to walk from the city park to the square over to the Baptist Church walking trail – the route did not have sidewalks most of the way.
  8. We meet the first Monday of the month at noon. We have been to Lamar City Council on 2 occasions to request they at least consider policy change for any new builds or renovations of streets. We have not been successful at this point – but will continue to pursue change through policy. We have the land an architectural drawing in the works – we are still deciding on what will actually be in the building.
