A grant from the Florida Farm Bureau will support a special learning experience for a group of students at Flagler Palm Coast High School. The funding was for the current school year under Farm Bureau’s statewide, competitive Mini-Grant Program.
Maggie Reaves, FPC's agriscience and agritechnology teacher, earned the funding after submitting an application for a project that involves improvements to the school’s student-led garden.
Farm Bureau Mini-Grants up to $250 are offered annually to certified K-12 classroom teachers. Florida Farm Bureau awarded mini-grants totaling nearly $10,000 to more than 50 teachers across the state last year.
The Flagler County Farm Bureau Federation sponsored nine 4-H youth via add-ons during the recent 4-H and FFA Livestock Show and Sale during the Flagler County Fair April 7-11.
The Flagler County Farm Bureau has sponsored hundreds of 4-H Youth who were participants in the event over the years.
“The Flagler County Farm Bureau vision is to honor and preserve Flagler County’s agricultural heritage while cultivating the future through education and promotion with local partnerships. I cannot think of a better way to accomplish our vision than supporting tomorrow’s leaders through the livestock fair,” Rob Buckles, Flagler County Farm Bureau board president.
Flagler Farm Bureau is headquartered in Palm Coast and serves over 1,300 member-families.
