Agricultural Literacy Week ~ March 21st - 25th, 2011 |

2011 Ag Literacy Week
will highlight New York's Poultry Industry!
We will be announcing our book selection shortly!
|

In celebration of National Agriculture Week (March 21st-25th), volunteers
throughout the state will read a book with an agricultural theme to
second graders. Students and teachers will also benefit from hands-on lessons and
receive follow up activities. The book will be given to the school
library with a bookplate recognizing the donor and NY Ag Literacy
Week. More than 1,500 books were donated last year while thousands
of second graders participated in fun and educational activities.
| County Coordinators |
Local ALW efforts will be coordinated by a volunteer in
each county. If you are interested in voluteering to read or would like a volunteer to come visit your classroom please contact you local coordinator.

| About the Book |
|
We are currently in the process of choosing the 2011 ALW book. |
| Donations / Sponsors |
Would you like to fund the purchase of one or more books? The
books cost $11 and will be donated to the school after being
read. Send your donation to your county coordinator (make checks
out to Cornell University and indicate "Ag Literacy Week" in the
memo line). Donors will be recognized on a special bookplate.
You may choose to have your donated book go to a specific
school, or to read it yourself.
