Sterling Agricultural Commission confirms May 18 Farm Day, backs student-led ag workshops
Summary
The Sterling Agricultural Commission set Farm Day for May 18 at SCS, agreed to reimburse classroom agriculture supplies, and pledged support for a student-led workshop project called Agri-Pulse.
The Sterling Agricultural Commission confirmed on April 2 that Farm Day will be held May 18 at SCS and said it will support classroom agriculture lessons and a student-led workshop proposal.
The commission recorded that indoor activities for Farm Day will begin at 8:45 a.m., outdoor activities will start at 9:05 a.m., and events are expected to wrap up around 2:10 p.m. No rain date was announced. Commission participant K. Patton secured prize money and seeds for a pumpkin-planting activity.
Commission members reiterated support for the Agriculture in the Classroom program and said they will reimburse teachers or organizers for supplies once submissions are received. "The Commission remains in favor of supporting Agricultural lessons in the classroom and will reimburse for supplies," the minutes state.
Sterling student Krista Kettle told the commission she and a peer are developing a 4-H project called Agri-Pulse and asked to initiate agriculture-based workshops using the Senior Center if possible. The commission said it is eager to support her workshops; no formal funding amounts or schedules were recorded in the minutes.
Next steps noted in the minutes include awaiting formal submissions for classroom reimbursements and continuing local event planning. The commission did not set a rain date for Farm Day and did not record additional logistical details beyond the start times and K. Patton's coordination of prizes and seeds.
