JANE SORENSEN Jane Sorensen, EPIC Family Engagement Program Manager is a real treasure for the Monticello Central School District. When Jane heard about the opportunity to read a story about agriculture and engage the elementary students in a hands on activity for Agriculture Literacy Week she was a beyond excited. This year’s book was Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish (Tales of the Dairy Godmother) written by Viola Butler and Illustrated by Ward Jenkins. The book took the students on an exploratory journey learning about dairy and connecting the delicious treat to the work farmers do every day to grow, raise and produce our food.
