A representative of the state Farm Bureau read to RCS students on Tuesday as the school celebrated Agriculture Day.

Patty Dugan, deputy director of members relations for the New York State Farm Bureau, read the book Sugarbush Spring, to second grade students at Pieter B. Coeymans Elementary School.

Sugarbush Spring, by Marsha Wilson Chall, tells the tale of a young girl who learns about sugar maple trees when she accompanies her grandfather on his annual trip to gather sap to make delicious syrup.

After reading to each class, Dugan provided samples of maple syrup and talked about the process of making the syrup.

She also presented a copy of the book to Principal Elisabeth Smith.
