I grew up in suburbia where 4-H and agriculture were topics and activities for country kids. While this was the case many years ago, today both “4-H” and “Mass Ag in the Classroom” are reaching kids everywhere. Those kids sure are lucky.
Both programs are about more than agriculture and animal husbandry. They are about life and learning. Teachers who participate have chosen these programs as a vehicle for teaching many of life’s important lessons.
Read Amelia Mason’s article “Massachusetts Ag in the Classroom and 4-H” to learn about how valuable these programs are both to the leaders and their students.
