The Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation announced this week that 40 educators across the state are being recognized as Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom Champions. Two educators from Ansley Public Schools, Stephanie Evans and Kristi Ryan, are among those being recognized.
Sponsored by the Nebraska Corn Board, the Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom Champions program highlights teachers who utilize Agriculture in the Classroom resources and programming to connect students with Nebraska agriculture.
Participating teachers complete grade-specific activities and educational opportunities designed to connect state educational standards in math, science, social studies, and language arts to food, fiber, and fuel. Educators who complete seven checklist items through the Agriculture in the Classroom Teacher Toolkit receive recognition and classroom prizes.
“The Nebraska Corn Board is proud to support educators who are creating meaningful learning experiences and helping students build a stronger connection to Nebraska agriculture,” said Brandon Hunnicutt, farmer and chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board.
