The South Dakota Beef Industry Council is offering the FACS Beef Program to Family and Consumer Sciences, Agricultural Education and ProStart educators across the state.
School districts have the opportunity to apply for funding to purchase beef which helps enhance classroom curriculum to include more beef cuts, beef preparation methodology and beef nutrition education. The application deadline is Friday (Sept. 25) and can be found on sdbeef.org.
SDBIC Director of Nutrition Holly Swee says they continue to receive positive feedback from the teachers. She says these students are future consumers so we want them to feel comfortable using beef in their recipes.
Funded by the Beef Checkoff, last year the program reached 47 schools in the state.
For questions regarding the program, contact Holly Swee at hswee@sdbeef.org.
