educational partnerships previous feature storiesaugust 2009 This year, the Agriculture Education Committee of the Calgary Stampede together with the Calgary Herald and sponsor Bayer CropScience Inc. offered elementary students the added opportunity to participate in the ‘Aggie Days: Front Cover Art Contest’. It was a great opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and knowledge around the theme: ‘Agriculture and the Environment.’ The winning design featured on the front cover of this year’s Aggie Days insert was created by Jillian K., a Grade 4 student from Edgemont School. A cheque for $200 was presented to Jillian at a special Aggie Days Reception. In addition to her prize, Edgemont School received a SMART Board valued at approximately $5,000 sponsored by Bayer CropScience Inc.
Other CBE Honourable Mentions included Michele T. and Hazel S., also from Edgemont School, Jasmine H. from Hawkwood School, Logan S. from Brentwood School and Justyn S. from Midnapore School. We acknowledge the many wonderful entries created by CBE students and the great encouragement and support from their teachers. Aggie Days along with other programs and scholarships demonstrates the Calgary Stampede’s commitment to education.
