Seeing what our Little Green Thumbs have grown and are harvesting is absolutely amazing. Way to GROW. We are so happy to have you as part of our growing family! 💚💚💚

[Laura Penney @mspenneysclass]

K-3 students loved their harvest celebration today! @littlegrnthumbs program gives students a hands-on opportunity to grow, care for, and learn about fresh food right in their own classroom garden. 🌱💚 So proud of our little gardeners! @bishopwhiteNL @NLSchoolsCA @AITCNL

[Agriculture in the Classroom NL @AITCNL]

WHOA! Look at that harvest! We can't wait to see the finished product! Happy Harvest Celebration!

[Laura Penney @mspenneysclass]

Prep work for our harvest celebration later today! Pizza and salads coming up! 🍕🥗 @bishopwhiteNL @littlegrnthumbs @AITCNL @NLSchoolsCA

[Agriculture in the Classroom NL @AITCNL]

Very cool! What a great imagination Ms. Penney's class!

[Laura Penney @mspenneysclass]

K-3 students were challenged today to create parts of a plant with objects around the classroom. They were pretty creative- some even had sunlight and rain! @littlegrnthumbs @AITCNL @bishopwhiteNL

Happy International Compost Awareness Week!
DYK? We have a vermi-composting program that compliments our gardening programs?! Some @NLSchoolsCA classrooms use red wiggler worms for composting & use the castings in their gardens! 🪱🪱

<3 We love our volunteers!

[AITCCanada @AITCCanada]

🌟 It’s Volunteer Month, and can we just say… volunteers are the absolute best?!

💥 Whether it’s sharing their time, energy, or passion — we seriously couldn’t do this without them!

🎉 A big thank you to @NFaganMeats for their support and kind words — "Today we got to do our first presentation that included a full school at one time! Thanks so much to Acreman Elementary School of @NLSchoolsCA for having us, we felt so welcome! It is so important to help teach children about farming and hopefully inspire them to think about agriculture as a career option. We would like to give a special thanks to @AITCNL for always going above and beyond to get that message across especially during Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month!"

🌟 C'est le mois du bénévolat, et pouvons-nous simplement dire que les bénévoles sont les meilleurs !

💥 Qu'il s'agisse de partager leur temps, leur énergie ou leur passion, nous ne pourrions vraiment pas le faire sans eux !

🎉 Un grand merci à @NFaganMeats pour son soutien et ses mots gentils - « Aujourd'hui, nous avons pu faire notre première présentation qui comprenait toute une école en même temps ! Merci beaucoup à l'école primaire Acreman de @NLSchoolsCA de nous avoir accueillis. Il est très important de sensibiliser les enfants à l'agriculture et de les inciter à envisager une carrière dans ce secteur. Nous tenons à remercier tout particulièrement @AITCNL qui se surpasse toujours pour faire passer ce message, surtout pendant le Mois de la littératie agricole canadienne !
