4-H’ers from clubs throughout North Dakota were recognized for incorporating nutrition, fitness and health activities into their club meetings in 2019-2020.
Twenty-eight 4-H clubs from 13 counties are making healthful habits part of the culture of their clubs. They were designated as Healthy North Dakota 4-H Clubs for the year and received a certificate of recognition and a small prize that promotes a healthful lifestyle.
Clubs recognized this year included several from LaMoure and Stutsman counties. They are listed by the number of members, years they have received the Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club recognition and whether they completed the Family Mealtime Challenge. The challenge encouraged families to set a goal for weekly family meals. The 4-H’ers tracked the number of family meals they ate for a month.
- LaMoure - LaMoure Clover Leafs, 22 members, seven years; Sow and Sews, 18 members, one year
- Stutsman - Prairie Pals, 34 members, one year; Country Kids, 18 members, three years, completed Family Mealtime Challenge
To earn the Healthy North Dakota 4-H Club recognition, clubs are required to incorporate at least one nutrition or fitness activity into a minimum of five regular meetings during the year.
