Food for America Program Educates Elementary Students

On Wednesday, April 6th, FFA members and students that are a part of the agriculture classes at Central Decatur traveled down to both South and North Elementary schools to present a Food for America Program to the students. This program is used as a way for FFA members and agriculture students to introduce several different areas of agriculture and increase awareness of how agriculture products provide food and fiber needed by Americans.

FFA members and agriculture students were able to choose an area that they were knowledgeable in, and share this knowledge with elementary students.  Through the use of interactive stations FFA members and agriculture students engaged the students to increase their knowledge of agriculture.
