Virginia’s Agriculture in the Classroom program is encouraging K-12 educators and organizations to apply for $30,000 in grants to help integrate agriculture into classroom curriculums in the 2020-2021 school year.
Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom is asking volunteers to read to students in the fall as part of its agriculture literacy initiative.
Schools are closed, which means parents and teachers are trying to find ways to supplement students’ learning outside of the classroom.
Peanut butter and jelly will be used to help educate Virginia children about agriculture.
