Do you know where your food comes from? Each year the Alamance County Agri-Business Committee offers the Farm-To-Table program to give fourth graders the chance to learn about agriculture in our community. This program, provided at no charge, educates children about where their food comes from and what is involved in food production before it reaches the dining room table. Several different areas of farming are represented while touring the nine stations- dairy, poultry, the table (food/nutrition), beekeeping, forestry products, beef cattle, field crops, soil and water conservation, and plant science. At the end, students take home a goody bag with some souvenirs and more information. It was a beautiful day at the park to learn more about the farming industry! Thanks to the committee, sponsors, volunteers, and FFA students from Southern Alamance High School for helping make this event so successful. #ABSSCommunity #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
Superintendent Dr. Dain Butler shared his vision for ABSS today with the Alamance Chamber of Commerce Education Council. When schools and community organizations work together to support learning, everyone benefits. #ABSSCommunity
