Agriculture In The Classroom thank you letter

As we posted a couple of weeks ago, we were fortunate to have Agriculture In The Classroom (AITC) come to our school and provide breakfast to all of the students and staff (well over 500 people!), with the help of a number of producers and industry types who talked to the students about where their food comes from. Our class wrote a thank you letter to one of the participants that AITC brought that morning - here it is:

Dear Darren,

Thank you for taking the time to come to Bernie Wolfe Community School on October 22 to help give us a free meal! The breakfast was delicious... and maybe the best one ever! We loved the scrumptious pancakes with honey and butter, the fantastic sausages, the excellent hard-boiled eggs, and the awesome chocolate milk.

Thank you also for helping to teach us about where our food comes from. We learned that:

- dairy cows give us milk and butter
- chickens give us eggs
- flour for the pancakes comes from wheat
- sausage comes from pigs (as well as bacon... and hair for drywall - who knew?!)
- bees give us honey
- cooking oil comes from canola
- biodegradable plates and cutlery can be made from potatoes and corn (amazing!)

We very much appreciate all of your time and hard work - we really loved having you at our school.

Sincerely,

Mr. Hoeppner's Grade 3 class at Bernie Wolfe Community School
