I am the newest member of the Ag In The Classroom staff. Having worked with the other staff members for approximately 2 months, I had a feel for the overall purpose and mission of the foundation. But I didn't have a full appreciation for what the educators did until I attended a garden workshop in January 2009. The facilitator energized a group of approximately 30 teachers and shared an interactive, fast paced day that really impressed me. The workshop reinforced the importance of what we do, and why we do it. That message was well received by the group and I'm sure they felt as compelled as I did to carry and pass it on to others.
