Arkansas Ag in the Classroom

Prairie Grove Intermediate School is doing great things with students!!! They are also part of the Elementary Ag Education Pilot Program.

09/17/2026

On this Day, we celebrate the amazing educators who do more than teach agriculture. They inspire, encourage, and open doors to opportunities students may have never imagined. Ag teachers help shape future leaders, build confidence, and instill a deep appreciation for the people and industries that feed, clothe, and fuel our world. Their impact reaches far beyond the classroom and lasts a lifetime. 💙🌱🚜

How long do the meetings last?
What are some activities you do in that allotted time?
