Farm Bureau sponsors 3rd graders Homeplace experience By Billy Joe Fudge Vice-President, Homeplace on Green River Adair County Farm Bureau during their July meeting stepped up to the plate and hit a home run for Adair County's 230 Third Grade Students. They agreed to pay $5.00 for each student to have an outdoor educational experience at Kentucky's Outdoor Classroom. Kentucky's Outdoor Classroom at Homeplace on Green River is quickly becoming a destination for our area's teachers who want to provide a real world, hands on, outdoor, educational experience for their students. Most parents, teachers and administrators recognize that our electronic, urbanized culture no longer provides the experiences necessary for our children to develop a healthy appreciation for their place and role in the natural world. They also know that our children need to develop at least a basic understanding of the agricultural industry which provides the food and fiber that sustains them. We at Homeplace on Green River have been keenly aware of this Outdoor Deprivation Syndrome for years and have now made ourselves available as Kentucky's Outdoor Classroom to parents, teachers, and administrators as a comprehensive venue to assist them in their efforts to familiarize our young people with field, forest, farm, history, rural culture and wildlife. Among many other special experiential opportunities, we at Homeplace have set a goal of bringing every third grader within a daytrip driving distance to Homeplace each year. This program will insure that every student will have at least one, on farm, in the forest, outdoor, environmental experience during their K-12 school career. The Homeplace Board of Directors would like to thank Adair County Farm Bureau for their generous donation. Thank you for your commitment to strengthening and supporting the educational experience of Adair County's students.
