The Nevada Agricultural Foundation awarded Kristina Moore with the Nevada Ag in the Classroom Volunteer of the Year Award during the Nevada Farm Bureau 95th Annual Meeting in Reno. The award was presented by the foundation Executive Director Sue Hoffman.
“Each year as part of the Nevada Agricultural Foundation’s Excellence in Education Program, we honor an Agriculture in the Classroom volunteer who is dedicated to educating Nevada youth about agriculture,” said Hoffman. “Kristina has done an outstanding job of educating students about agriculture in her own classes and teaching elementary students through innovative Ag in the Classroom projects.”
Moore is the agriculture science teacher at Churchill County High School and a member of the Churchill County Farm Bureau. In her 10 years teaching at the school, she has increased involvement of her FFA students in agriculture education. This past year she coordinated a project in which her students read agriculture books to all 14 second grade classrooms in Churchill County and presented each school with a book barn to hold agriculture literature.
Moore received an award and a $1,000 stipend to be used for her Ag in the Classroom program.
