October is National Farm to School Month. In celebration, the National Farm to School Network and Annie’s Root 4 Kids are sponsoring a poster contest. Three lucky winners will be awarded $1,000 for their school’s Farm to School program plus a Root 4 Kids prize pack valued at $150 for the winning student. What will $1,000 buy? More than 3 million turnip seeds. Or how about 700 pounds of fresh carrots?!
One winner will be selected from each age group (pre-K-5th grade; grades 6-8; and grades 9-12), and the selected posters will be distributed far and wide to promote next year’s National Farm to School Month. That’s right—fame and fortune could be yours! All you have to do is break out your art supplies and get to work.
Sometimes it also pays to be fast: The first 25 classrooms to send in their entries and include a Root 4 Kids pledge with their submission will receive a special gift package from Annie’s Root 4 Kids. Download the rules and submission guidelines for more information.
