Dear Family and Consumer Science Teacher:
You and your classes are invited to participate in the 2019-2020
Pork in the Classroom
program. We are excited to offer
free
educational presentations for your classes, including the demonstration of a quick and healthy pork dish. Your students will be challenged to prepare simple, healthy meals for themselves and their families. The lesson compliments
any
middle school or high school family and consumer science class, especially that which incorporates a food and nutrition unit into the curriculum.
Our presenters are part of farming families, and they have a great passion for rural life and sharing more about the farms that grow our food. They will teach your students about the various pork cuts, food safety, and the nutritional value of pork. Students will sample a tasty pork recipe, and each participating school will receive a packet of complimentary classroom materials. All supplies for the day’s lessons are being provided compliments of the Ohio Pork Council.
Space is limited with the earliest respondents receiving priority scheduling. If you are interested in scheduling a presentation, please click

to find your representative, or see their contact information below. Additionally, feel free to reply to me and I will direct you to the appropriate presenter. In order to make the best use of our resources, we are limiting our offer to schools who would like us to present to at least four classes or 50 students. We look forward to working with you to help prepare your students to be wise consumers.
Sincerely,
Meghann Winters
