Outcome: Initial Outcome
Teachers at Stanton Elementary identified a need for Agriculture education and programming at the K-5 level, which is currently not offered by the school district. In partnership with teachers, as well as the Partners for Rural Impact grant, 4-H was able to begin an afterschool agriculture club for interested students.
The club members meet weekly after-school. Two separate clubs are offered, one for K-2 grade and one for 3-5 grade to differentiate learning content. Club meetings are focused on Kentucky Agriculture, and feature a "virtual field trip" video and additional resources provided on the TeachAgKY website.
Club members include 23 female and 11 male participants. The club began meeting at the start of the 2024-25 school year and will continue until May. Outcomes and Program Impact will be updated throughout that time.
