It's in the Mail! 



JANUARY 7: All the teaching mate- 

 rial which the NHPGA is donating 

 to Ag in the Classroom is finally in 

 The 4-H series, "Exploring the 

 World of Plants and Soils," will be 

 sent out this week to all schools 

 that purchased Barn Boxes in the 

 past and copies will be available 

 for future Bam Box purchases 



A Bam Box is a collection of teach- 

 ing materials (its container is a box 

 shaped and painted to look like a 

 bam) to aid teachers in bringing agri- 

 culture to their classrooms^ Many agri- 

 cultural commodity groups sponsor 

 materials dealing with their own com- 

 modities. NHPGA's donation has kept 

 the cost of a box from increasing 

 while adding new materials — materi- 

 als dealing for the first time with 

 those basic components of the Green 



December 23, 1997 



Industry, plants and soil — ^to those al-

 tary school, please contact me, Ann
