Spreading Pork's Message to Young Audiences

Students ranging from age five to age eight recently learned about all things pigs and pork from one of Oklahoma Pork's most engaged junior members named Molly Buckmaster at her December workshop in Oolagah.

There is a devoted circle of high school and collegiate students with a passion for pork who continue to engage with the Oklahoma Pork Council every chance they get. One of these special young people is Molly Buckmaster from Porter, Oklahoma. Molly has joined our crew at a variety of key events over the past year, and she serves as a proud pork ambassador within her community.

Recently, Molly used her platform as a swine exhibitor and local role model to educate 300 Oolagah-Talala elementary students about pigs and pork. She introduced this curious young audience to the variety of careers available throughout the pork supply chain, and she helped them understand many of the delicious and nutritious products that come from pig farms right here in Oklahoma. Molly also shared fun Oklahoma Pork Council swag with these young learners to help key messages get remembered for years to come.

About Molly's day advocating for pork among hundreds of elementary students, Oolagah-Talala teacher Jennifer White shared "Wow, I can't say how much we appreciate having Molly come talk to the kids. She was truly amazing. I've also been using the resources on your website to educate the children over pigs and pork. So great for these kids to know where their food comes from and what it takes to make it happen."
