Butterball wants kids to celebrate agriculture just in time for the big fall turkey dinner holiday!
Butterball, LLC has partnered with Weekly Reader to develop “Celebrate Agriculture” – a compelling set of classroom learning materials designed to educate children about the importance of responsible agriculture.
Butterball’s “Celebrate Agriculture” Weekly Reader program will provide educational materials to more than 200,000 teachers with a reach of 6 million students.
“Weekly Reader has been a trusted educational resource for teachers for more than 100 years,” said Keith Shoemaker, CEO, Butterball, LLC. “We are excited to work with such a well-known and credible organization to educate students on how socially responsible agricultural processes lead to animal health and healthy food for consumers.”
“Celebrate Agriculture,” designed for students in grades three through six, will include math, nutrition and science activities for students, as well as a teacher’s guide with step-by-step instructions for incorporating the activities into their lesson plans.
