Kick off all in for agriculture education week at Telly Elementary.

Calcium, good.

Calcium.

Or calcium.

If I had to say that there is one mission that we have with All In for Ag Week, it is that we're creating lifelong learners and critical thinkers around the issues that we face in agriculture, giving them that opportunity around agriculture to be critical thinkers and problem solvers for the future of the issues that we face that we don't even know that we're gonna face in the future is the whole reason why we're doing all in for ag week.

You think the hook still makes the horses?

You think it's better for the when we support agricultural education?

We are not just planting seeds in soil.

That's not it.

We are planting seeds of opportunity.

We are planting seeds of confidence.

We are we we are planting careers that are much needed.

But we know that right here in Jefferson County, the agriculture industry and community is so incredibly important.

We do it in our own way through community gardens, through farmers markets, working to bring fresh and healthy food to families all across our entire city.

All In for Ag really embodies opportunity and access for our kids through collaboration, through careers, and also through what we call vibrant learning.

It needs to be hot all about the summertime and says when it is when you place it in here, we're using the real ground.

Being in JCPS, it may not be the place that you think of when you think of ag education, but I'm here to tell you they have blown us away.

Every classroom we visited, they have knocked it out of the park.

Um and it just goes to show that this is truly a program for everybody everywhere, and everybody gets to be a part of growing um the ag community in Kentucky.

What kind of soil is that that you see?

It's rocky.

So this is the mammogram machine.

Um, this is where we position patients for their mammogram.

Then uh I would step back there and take their image.

We are in the back parking lot of Valley High School, and we are showing the students the mobile breast cancer mammogram unit.

I hope that they take away that it's important for their family members to get breast exams and mammothrams after 40, and that this is the opportunity that they can explore in the future for their health character work.

Learning how to make a patient comfortable while doing like an intimate type of procedure, such as a mammogram, like where you're scanning them, their body is exposed.

I wanted to learn how to make that person comfortable while doing things like this.

Back here, I think we have two dressing rooms.

So we can have two patients at a time getting dressed and being ready for their mammogram.

Each dressing room has a door uh that actually comes out into the exam room.

It probably sounds unlooked for us than it is.

Mammogram is really not bad.

It's tight, uncomfortable, but I would say if you've been to the dentist, I think personally a dentist is worse.

Whatever we take from here, we can go home and research more and learn more about.

And then we could be more educated in the health department for when we do get older and we want to experience things like that.

We see that and we're like, hey, I know how this works.

Maybe you go to the doctor's appointment with your grandma, and you're like, I know what that machine does.

I know what to expect when she goes here and goes there.

I think that's really good.

What happens when a student's childhood passion meets a business partner's commitment to the future workforce?

Meet Atherton graduate, Ava Cochran.

My goal is to show students that if they're passionate about something, they can absolutely make a career out of it, and they don't have to wait.

I've always loved editing.

Also, when I was little, I would make little things on iMovie like trailers, just by myself on my mom's iPad.

I've just always had a little passion for it.

When I found out about Atherton, I saw that I could go into a program with it, and that just increased my love for it a lot more.

I was lucky to have Ava as a freshman in Intro to Media Arts, and she was a great student from the beginning.

Like she was wanted to sit in the front.

She was always raising her hand.

I learned like storyboarding, I learned production, I learned how to write professional emails, which was really good.

And then I learned all the adobes, and they really strengthened my like video editing skills.

And there is a need for social media marketing.

There's a need for people to be able to create content that looks good and sounds good, and our students know how to do that once they leave Atherton.

I was looking for a marketing internship, and Mr.

Boris told me to reach out to Jay Smith.

I did a little internship with them for a few months with social media marketing, and I absolutely sell in love.

Because I worked with her in the school program, I knew her and I knew the quality of her work already.

So that networking was a much stronger just because I already knew the quality of her work.

We can't say enough good things about Jay.
