The first objective addressed by this study was to describe selected demographics of the participating school and students. This study took place in a rural southwest Missouri public school. There were 739 students in the district from Kindergarten to 12 The grade with 160 students enrolled in the middle school (grades 6-8). About 95 percent of the whole student population is Caucasian, approximately 3 percent Hispanic, and approximately 2 percent Asian. Almost 63 percent of the students receive free and reduced lunch and almost 20 percent of the children in Lawrence County live in poverty.
