By NISD Senior FFA Student Keara Renfroe This year, Northwest ISD held its 21st annual FFA Third Grade Agriculture field day at the Kelly Box Agriculture Center. This event has grown to be a very successful day of learning as 30 high school students from each FFA program, Northwest, Byron, and Eaton, worked together for three days to facilitate and present information about the agricultural industry. Third grade agriculture field day was a great experience for our high school students as they were able to share their passion about the agriculture industry to elementary students on numerous topics such as Beef Cattle, Swine, Sheep/Goats, Entomology/Horticulture, Dairy Cattle, Wildlife/Outdoor safety, Crops, and Equine. Throughout the three days we had students participate in third grade agriculture field day, we had a total of 12 schools with estimated 1300 third graders attending. Each group was given 10 minutes to present a presentation on the topics with important facts, pictures, and with the opportunity for the third graders to ask any questions about the agriculture industry. Third grade students were also given the opportunity to learn about the animals and get a visualization of how they are taken care of each day. We as a school district are very grateful for the opportunity to have our FFA members share their knowledge and the importance of agriculture with elementary students in our district.
