Dear Becky,
 
Thanks so much for helping me get the word out about the event we're having on September 25. Here is a synopsis of what we are doing.
 
On Thursday, 9/25, approximately 90 Third graders (and parents/guardians) will be joining us for the Farm School at Genesis Farm (please see website). The students have been learning about soils and plants and pollination and want to visit a farm to add to their "hands on" experience.
 
Since the group is so large, we are dividing them into five groups, lead by a teacher, and they will move from station to station around the farm.
 
I would really like to have an outreach person from Orange County Beekeepers to come and set up props (with a bee hive) and talk to them about bees and pollination and all that goes with that. As a learning experience, it would be very cool to see the bees and what they do in a hive. I know how exciting it is to see the real thing.
 
The Farm School will last approximately 1.5 hours, beginning around 11a.m (tentative, it could be a half hour earlier). You should be done no later than 12:30. Rain date is Oct 3.
 
I hope someone with your organization can commit to being with us. I would appreciate hearing back as soon as possible -- by mid-week please-- so I can go ahead and start making arrangements.
 
Looking forward to it.
 
Thanks so much.
