As educators of Agriculture, we are constantly working to recruit more students to our program. The more students we have, the more funding our program receives, and the more we can justify our teaching position when it comes to talking numbers and staffing with administrators. Agricultural educators should take recruiting seriously to grow their program. One tool I have used the past few years involves FOOD! Kids always respond well to food!
My Ag Business students do this as an advertising project of their Ag Sales unit. We assemble these baggies and make enough for every agriculture education student. Each current student is responsible for giving a baggie to a non-agriculture student. The idea is if everyone can recruit just one person, our program will double in size! You can include traditional s'mores ingredients, or you can make it more "trail-mixy" by using mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cereal. We use regular zip baggies and staple the fold-over (printed on card stock) on the top. It is easiest if you staple the fold-over with the opening to the bag folded back along one of the sides. The kids love these! Food always gets kids' attention, and hopefully they'll take in the message while they're snacking! You can get this product FREE at my TpT store!
