Kids at Hope

STUDENTS LEARN TO FOCUS ON WHO THEY WANT TO BECOME

Leaders in the Avondale Elementary School District were looking for a solution to support students with internalizing the Kids at Hope philosophy: all children are capable of success- no exceptions! 

Students are given cameras and opportunities to photograph images and situations that illustrate the kind of people they want to grow to be.

SUMMER AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE 

SAI is a five-day, traveling tour designed to teach K-12 teachers about food and fiber production and help them incorporate that knowledge in the classroom curriculum. SAI combines hands-on learning about agriculture with practical curriculum development.

SAI provides participants with free classroom materials that are aligned to Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards. Participants will visit a variety of agricultural operations, spend an entire day at the University of Arizona's research farm, visit schools with active agriculture education programs, and spend an afternoon with a modern-day farming or ranching family.

The 27th SAI will be held Monday, June 5 thru Friday, June 9, 2017. We will begin in the Phoenix area and travel north to the cool-aired regions of Yavapai and Coconino Counties visiting agricultural industries along the way.

There is no cost to apply for SAI, but you must be accepted to participate. Apply by March 1 and only pay $85, if you are accepted. Apply after March 1 and pay $125. Accepted applicants will need to provide payment by May 25.
