Abstract

Reproductive health and sexuality education in elementary schools plays an important role in improving knowledge for students because there is still an opinion that it is a taboo when discussed in general. Reproductive health education can be provided when experiencing puberty and delivered with interactive education so that students understand about reproductive health. Activities are carried out face-to-face with educational methods with lecture, question and answer and discussion techniques. The results of the activity are an increase in the knowledge of elementary school teachers and students about adolescent reproductive health. Thus, efforts to disseminate information about reproductive health for elementary school teachers and students are needed and are expected to be carried out on an ongoing basis. The method used in this community service activity is by conducting educational activities, followed by discussions and questions and answers. After conducting this community service activity, students, teachers are happy and students understand the definition, benefits, types of reproductive organs and how to keep them clean and healthy

Abstract

Stunting (chronic malnutrition) remains a serious public health challenge in Indonesia, with a prevalence of 21.6% (2022) above the WHO threshold (20%). While interventions are intensive during the First 1000 Days of Life, management during the school-age period (the second golden phase) is often neglected. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of nutritional education intervention and hands-on practice through a Shared Breakfast Program in Elementary Schools (SD) in improving nutritional knowledge and stunting prevention. This community service activity used a simple pre-test and post-test design with a participatory education method on 49 students from grades 1 to 3 at Talang Bukit Hutabayu State Elementary School. The material focused on the dangers of stunting, the concept of Balanced Nutrition (Isi Piringku or My Plate Content), and the importance of breakfast. The results showed a significant increase in students' knowledge levels, with average score improvements ranging from 23.6% to 33.5% between the pre-test and post-test. The greatest improvement occurred in Grade 1 students. The Shared Breakfast Program proved effective as a live laboratory that transformed abstract nutritional concepts into tangible practice. The intervention not only enhanced nutritional literacy but also built awareness of the link between a healthy breakfast and learning concentration. It is recommended that a comprehensive nutrition program, supported by continuous teacher training and active parental involvement, be integrated into the school curriculum to ensure the sustainability of healthy behavior changes
