Media Advisory: Minister to Attend Little Green Thumbs Harvest Celebration

As part of the Agriculture in the Classroom Little Green Thumbs program, the Honourable Darin King, Minister of Education, and David Brazil, MHA for Conception Bay East - Bell Island, will join Grade 3 students from Beachy Cove Elementary on Monday, June 16, for their Harvest Celebration. The event will take place at Lester’s Farm Chalet, 92 Pearltown Road, Kilbride, beginning at 9:45 a.m.

Agriculture in the Classroom, an initiative of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture, familiarizes school-aged children with the agriculture industry in this province, so that they develop an understanding of where food comes from, and why food systems are essential to society.
