On Wednesday May 4, 2011 at the Wall Lake Elementary and Friday May 6, 2011, at the Sac City Elementary School, 18 East Sac FFA members presented a workshop to the elementary. This workshop is called “Food for America.” It was presented to over 400 total students in Begindergarten through 4th grade.
Food for America is designed to teach kids about agriculture. The elementary does not have agricultural classes, so the program incorporates agricultural knowledge into a fun workshop that provides students an opportunity to learn something new.

Caite Irwin, Hope Brotherson, and Bailey Wright presented to the 4th graders, and their theme was “Healthy Habits: The New Food Pyramid.” “From Farm Gates to Dinner Plates—Where Your Food Comes From” was presented to the 3rd graders by Brent Drey, Katie Riedell, and Kacie Partridge.
Lauren Houska, Alexandria Roth, and Jenny Obman presented the program “Where are These Products Grown?” to the 2nd graders. Korey Drost, Molly Hesnard, and Shawna Wiggins presented a workshop titled “Where do These Products Come From?” to the 1st graders.
Liz Halbur, Hannah Huser, and Courtney Bostwick presented to the Kindergarten and used the theme “What’s in Agriculture, What’s Not.” Marie Scott, Jamie Highland, and Sidney Herrig presented “Is There Agriculture in Your Life?” to the afternoon shift of the Begindergarten classes.
The FFA Chapter would like to thank the elementary students and staff for providing the time and cooperation to make this program possible.
The East Sac FFA is a youth organization of 143 student members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology.
