Ware Academy received one of 70 grants awarded in 45 localities in the Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom program.
The Gloucester private school will receive $500 this year from the program, which provides 26,000 youth in urban and rural areas unique agricultural experiences related to gardening, animal agriculture, nutrition, STEM integrations and leadership development. These grants and the projects they support also help youth gain a better understanding of food production and career opportunities in the agriculture field.
