Healthy Habits Tilghman Area Youth Association (Talbot County FY17 and Beyond) - Annual

Story Behind the Curve

  • We now offer two afterschool programs on gardening and nutrition, separating cooking into its own class because of its popularity. 
  • We model healthy eating each day -- even when the classes focus on art, science, or sports -- by providing healthy snacks and dinners. 
  • We include gardening and nutrition during our half-day programs offered to families on some of the days when Talbot County Public School students only have a half-day of school instruction.  
  • We have a presence at most evening school events, giving us a way to reach parents and kids with healthy eating examples and messages.

Action Plan

  • Hire and train new afterschool director
  • Develop a strategy for obtaining better participation in surveys
