(Resources of Earth and Agriculture Discovered and Shared) is a collaborative program between a local school and Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm. The program helps second and third graders experiencing reading difficulties by integrating experiences in nature and agriculture with reading and writing skills. The Wright State students chose to support this initiative because they know the importance of reading in education.<\/p>\n<p>Booth proceeds were more than three times the amount raised at the festival in previous years. \u201cBy soliciting donations, our group was able to increase profits,\u201d\u00a0Jewett added. Their sponsors included Liberty Savings Bank, First Financial Bank, Kindred Funeral Home of Englewood and an anonymous donor. Adding baked goods also increased sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A working farm isn\u2019t your typical college classroom.
