Students throughout this province are taking part in annual Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM) for the entire month of March. Events are hosted by Agriculture in the Classroom NL (AITC-NL). Coordinator Chelsea Foley says CALM is a national, hands-on program that encourages children to learn about and celebrate agriculture. She says they cover a variety of topics related to agriculture in NL. AITC-NL is also partnering with the Newfoundland and Labrador Beekeeping Association and Egg Farmers of Newfoundland and Labrador to host the “Bee Creative Literacy Contest” for Kindergarten to Grade 6 students. Classes can submit up to three of their top literary work and the winning classes get to decorate a beehive any way they choose. The beehive will be returned to the participating beekeeper’s farm to be taken care of in the name of the school/class. All entries must be submitted by April 1st with winners announced Monday, April 8th.
