Sprouting Change: Cultivating Environmental Champions

JOIN US FOR AN AFTER SCHOOL WORKSHOP CONNECTING AGRICULTURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

Illinois’ new environmental education mandate creates an opportunity for teachers to bring important agricultural and environmental topics to life. Agriculture provides a natural, hands-on connection to the environment. Through agriculture, students can explore how we use, protect, and conserve the resources around us.

Join us on MONDAY, OCTOBER 26 from 4:30-6:30 P.M. at the McLean County Farm Bureau (2242 Westgate Dr., Bloomington) for a hands-on workshop. Every teacher will walk away with a box of materials, lessons, and ideas to use in their classroom, as well as two hours of professional development credit.
