We are inviting all 3rd - 4th grade teachers and their students (along with home schools) from L.A. County who would like to join us on an Adventure. You and your students will learn how agriculture completes the many pieces (water, plants, bees, fiber, food and dairy) that form the puzzle of our everyday lives. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear agriculture affects us ALL.

AG DAY LA is filled with valuable hands-on educational experiences to grade school students in L.A. County schools throughout the greater Los Angeles area. It provides a fun and exciting way for teachers to address State Standards, as well as to promote agricultural literacy. AG DAY LA is an eye-opening event for many kids who don't know where their food comes from or have never seen a live farm animal.

AG DAY LA 2014 will take place at Fairplex Pomona's Big Red Barn on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, or Thursday, May 15, 2014. Please choose the day(s) and rotation that will accommodate your schedule!

Here is a link for teachers that need grants for bus funding in order to attend the AG DAY LA 2014 event: http://www.farmology.com/programs.html#activity

Please make sure you arrive at the Big Red Barn with plenty of time to spare for registration! It will be about a 10 minute walk from the drop off zone near another event called Schools' Agriculture and Nutrition Fair which is being held from (Tuesday, May 13 through Saturday May 17, 2014 at the Pomona Fairplex, Building 10. Upon exiting the bus, AG DAY LA attendees should look for a docent to bring you to AG DAY LA 2014 at the Big Red Barn.
