North East Carolina Prep School FFA

The North East Carolina Prep School FFA engaged kindergarten – fifth grade classrooms by providing more than 1,000 students with agricultural education activity kits and created lesson plans to guide them. Once the members taught these lessons, the elementary students then participated in an agricultural field day. Students were exposed to agriculture in their community and were able to connect with community leaders because North East Carolina Prep School FFA took action using the 4 step effective advocacy model (Plan, Develop, Do, Reflect). These elementary students now have a wealth of knowledge and understanding of agriculture.
