Update as of 7/24 : We appreciate the high volume of interest and support for our ag educators this school year! We have reached the maximum number of boxes we can manage to ensure arrival by the start of school, so the donation form is now closed. We hope to offer this again next school year and reach even more teachers! Thank you so much for your generosity and support.
*If you would like to be put on a waiting list for future boxes if we would re-open the form, or to receive information next year, please click here to share your email address.
Show your appreciation for an agriculture educator you know, and send them a back-to-school box from Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow to start the school year off on a positive note! Agriculture teachers are laying the foundation for the next generation to learn about the role farmers have in our communities. Donate $30 to send a box that will arrive by the start of school. You can even include a personalized note of gratitude and encouragement. All proceeds benefit agriculture educators and the Dairy Excellence Foundation.
Each box will include:
- Welcome card with (optional) message from you
- Office supplies such as pens, highlighters and post-it notes
- Gift card
- Stress cow
- Keychain
- Candy
- Other items yet to be determined
Donate $30 today to support agriculture teachers in your community! Fill out the form below by July 31, 2024 to ensure the box arrives by the start of the school year.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are a few creative box requests that we received last year:
- Dairy producers sent boxes to agriculture educators in a nearby district, thanking them for their work and encouraging them to reach out if they ever want to tour or connect with a working dairy farm.
- Parents and neighbors sent boxes to their adult children or friends who are ag educators to help them start the school year off on a positive note.
- Educators paired up and sent boxes to each other as a fun back-to-school gesture.
- Businesses shared their appreciation for ag educators in their community and asked the Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow team to choose teachers in their county to receive boxes.
