The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation, through the Wisconsin Farm Bureau's Ag in the Classroom program, has awarded 10 schools and educators each $500 to support innovative core curricula initiatives that incorporate agriculture.
"Agriculture is one of Wisconsin's largest sectors, providing nearly one in every nine jobs in our state," says Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom Coordinator Beth Schaefer. "We are excited to support educators who work to grow student achievement while simultaneously introducing students to the skills and jobs needed to produce the food and fiber that we all rely on every single day."
Educators that have been awarded funding include:
** Sheila Kroseberg, Waupaca High School, Waupaca
