ANNUAL CALVES IN THE CLASSROOM 3RD GRADE RANCH DAY

---

In April, the Annual Calves in the Classroom Ranch Days take place with 3rd grade classrooms from several different school districts across the Rogue Valley in attendance. On the morning of Ranch Day, you could see the excitement in each child as they finally got to meet the steer they’d heard and seen pictures of for so long! During Ranch Day, the third-grade classrooms rotate through several different stations to gain a unique experience of ranch life from each rotation. During both days we served a delicious and nutritious meal that was voted on by the third-grade classrooms followed by a delicious dessert. A once in a lifetime experience was had by all third graders thanks to our amazing volunteers. These events were partially funded by Oregon Beef Farmers and Ranchers, and we are so grateful for the support of the Oregon Beef Council.

The Calves in the Classroom project was launched in 2022 to bring Ag Education into classrooms.
