New York Agriculture in the Classroom and is coordinating the annual New York Agricultural Literacy Week to be held from March 17-21, 2025. Community members around the state will be volunteering to read to elementary classrooms right here in our county.

This year’s book “Seasons on the Farm” by Chelsea Tornetto, explain how throughout the year, life on a farm is filled with growth and joy, patience, and renewal. On a farm, each season arrives with new jobs to do—crops to plant, animals to tend to, and fields to harvest. Readers get an insider’s look at what spring, summer, fall, and winter look like on a family farm, from adorable baby animals to rumbling tractors and pumpkins to pies. This sweet, rhyming story is perfect for young readers, whether their home is on a farm or not! We will pair this with a take home craft that kids can share with their families.

Please register below. Katlyn Santangelo, CCE Madison Ag in the Classroom Educator, will reach out to confirm the dates and times. 

Registration for event has CLOSED.
