A. Dean Hospital staff for their continued support and to Dr. Beth McEvoy for teaching the youth using cow and lamb respiratory specimens.<\/p>\n

GrowME<\/h2>\n

The GrowME program celebrated its fifth year where an informal group of volunteers provides hands-on activities that would develop agricultural literacy. During Maine Agriculture Week volunteers work with teachers to schedule an agricultural activity in their classroom.<\/p>\n

This program is a collaboration between Valley Grange, PCSWCD (Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District) and UMaine Extension in Piscataquis County. This year over 40 classrooms teachers signed up for a volunteer to visit and activities were developed for kindergarten through third grade. The program has grown to more classroom but continues to focus on the third grade and younger students and has reached an estimated 3,500 kids since the program launched!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
