For the past 100 years, the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service has been about the business of improving the lives of families through educational programs in financial management. Beginning in 1914, home demonstration agents taught homemaking, resource management and food preservation. In the 1940’s agents had a tremendous impact on family economics, helping people save on home food production, food preservation, repurposing of clothing and reconditioning of furnishings.

North Butler Elementary School and the Family Resource Center hosted a Career Day for the fifth grade students.  A special thanks to all the volunteers who visited and discussed their careers with the students.
