Cornell Cooperative Extension Franklin County Cornell Cooperative Extension Associations and the New York City office provide 56 portals to Cornell University.

The nationwide network of Cooperative Extension programs began in 1914 as a means of applying land-grant university research in understandable and useful ways to farmers and rural families. Today, Cooperative Extension serves urban, suburban, town and rural areas by offering programs in five broad areas: Agriculture & Food Systems; Children, Youth, & Families; Community & Economic Vitality; Environment & Natural Resources; and Nutrition & Health. Cornell Cooperative Extension operates on the Cornell campus through the leadership of faculty and staff in departments in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Human Ecology, with contributions from the College of Veterinary Medicine. Extension educators in these locations form powerful community-university partnerships with the Cornell campus, and involve local constituents to address the issues and concerns of New Yorkers.

Dairy in the Classroom with Amy!

7th & 8th grade BMC students in Mr. Barney's Tech class and Mrs. Roberts' Family & Consumer Sciences classes were fortunate to have Amy Shipman, Agricultural Education Specialist- Dairy in the Classroom Educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension come in for a lesson on Food Insecurity. Our students learned that food insecurity means not having enough money to buy food and that 1 in 5 children struggle with food insecurity in the U.S. To help combat this crisis in our area, the students learned that BMC takes part in a Universal Breakfast and Lunch program which provides free breakfast and lunch for all of our students! Locally, we also have some fantastic food pantries in our area that help families in need.

Pictured is Mrs. Shipman and students from Mrs. Roberts' FACS class taking part in a food insecurity activity.
