With many schools transitioning to virtual learning to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the Dairy Excellence Foundation’s Discover Dairy program is committed to providing free digital resources and curriculum to help educators during this time.
Discover Dairy will be launching a virtual learning library this week with digital lessons and resources to supplement your virtual lesson planning. If you’re looking for a specific lesson or resource, please email Brittany Snyder or call 717-346-0849 and we can help you find virtual educational resources that will work for your classroom.
