We are inviting all 3-4th grade teachers and their students, from L.A. County, who would like to join us on an Adventure. You and your students will learn how agriculture completes the many pieces (water, plants, bees, fiber, food, and dairy) that form the puzzle of our everyday lives. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear, agriculture affects us ALL.

AG DAY LA is filled with valuable hands-on educational experiences to grade school students in L.A. County schools. It provides a fun and exciting way for teachers to address State Standards, as well as to promote agricultural literacy. AG DAY LA is an eye-opening event for many kids who don't know where their food comes from or have never seen a live farm animal.

AG DAY LA 2009 will take place at the following venue:

The 8th annual AG DAY LA celebration will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, April 22nd and 23rd, 2009, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Fairplex facility (Big Red Barn) in Pomona. Please note that reservations for Thursday are now full! There is still room to register for Wednesday (first come, first serve).

In the Los Angeles area most children, as well as adults, know very little about the connection between our health, our food supply, natural resources, and the maintenance of our environment. If future generations are going to care about agriculture, farming and the preservation of a healthy food supply, they must be directly exposed to the people and places that produce their food.

Please RSVP for this event by filling out one of the following forms that relate to you (Teacher Response Form, or Volunteer Form). Teachers must provide adult chaperones for this event. It is also advised that students bring a brown bag lunch. This invite is accepted on a first come first serve basis. We thank you for your time and look forward to meeting you on our Adventure.
