Rappahannock County Public Schools issued the following announcement on March 20.
In celebration of National Agriculture Literacy Week (March 15-19, 2021), Rappahannock County Farm Bureau: Women's Committee, Ashleigh Cannon, teamed up with Michele Fincham, Agriculture Education Instructor/FFA Advisor, and RCPS FFA students to read and celebrate agriculture. The FFA students have volunteered their time to read to K-2. This year’s book is How Did That Get in My Lunchbox? In total, over 2,000 books have been donated to classrooms in Virginia. Included in the book bundle are curriculum resources that can be done in class or at-home to support the farm-to-table concepts in the book.
On Friday, March 19th, FFA Officers, Olivia Gibson (President) and Emma Jenkins (Reporter) visited Ms. Barron’s Kindergarten class to read the book aloud to the young students. The kindergarteners enjoyed learning about the origins of their food. FFA members will be visiting other classrooms to share this story with the primary grade levels.
RCPS would like to thank Ashleigh Cannon and the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau: Women’s Committee for their continued support of sharing agriculture education with our students.
