Presentation Requests
FREE Ag in the Classroom Zoom or Recorded Presentations
Register today – spots are limited!
Ag in the Classroom provides free classroom presentations to area elementary schools. Topics are created to show students the importance of agriculture in their daily lives.
Presentations last typically twenty to thirty minutes and are scheduled on a first-come, first served basis.
This school year, we will offer live Zoom presentations for in-class learners as well as recorded presentations for remote learners.
Please keep in mind that classes are encouraged to combine with each other if choosing Zoom presentations, to allow for the maximum number of students to participate in the program.
Please consult co-teachers before registering so that you may combine, if possible.
Thank you so much for your interest in the program! We look forward to working with you this year!
Please contact jennifer@maconcfb.org with any questions concerning Ag in the Classroom. Thanks!
