Description
The purpose of Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) is to help young people gain a better understanding of agriculture, the source of our food and fiber, and its impact on our economy and daily lives. Learning about agriculture and its positive affect on the community helps make today's students well-informed citizens tomorrow.
AITC was designed to provide curriculum, reference materials and teaching aides to K-12 teachers throughout Oregon.
Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation is a science based, politically impartial organization, having a proportionate membership of agricultural and educational representatives. The Executive Board directs the activities of the Foundation and approves all material before it becomes available for use.
The 9th Annual Fall Harvest Dinner was a tremendous success, raising over $45,000 for the program. The evening’s auction also resulted in the purchase of nearly 600 copies of Get Oregonized for third and fourth grade classrooms in the state.
Just over 100 people lent a hand to the success of this event, whether it was by offering a donation or giving their time. This vital event simply could not happen without the time, effort and support of these individuals, organizations and businesses.
