April Teacher Feature

Carrie Boyce, a first grade teacher in Sonoma County is our April Teacher Feature in our Cream of the Crop Newsletter!

“My favorite resource is the Literacy for Life grant that I received this year. It provides teachers with flexibility to add agriculture into their curriculum. The $500 helps provide supplies, field trips, pretty much any of the materials you will need to make your lessons happen.”

Literacy for Life Grants

“Students have gained a love and respect that agriculture has given them by seeing the options that are available to them. The ability to show them that the options to them are endless and that without agriculture none of these wonderful flavors, colors, textures and nutrition would be possible.” – 2019-2020 Literacy for Life Grant Recipient

Literacy for Life grants are designed to help initiate new projects or expand existing ones that promote agricultural literacy. Grants of up to $500 are provided to California K-12 educators to support the integration of agriculture into regular classroom instruction.

Apply today! Applications close October 1!
