Mrs. Pillen came to Leigh schools to read to the 3rd grade class. She read the story Right This Very Minute.
The visit was orchestrated by Mrs. Kim Loseke as part of Mrs. Pillen’s “Bushels of Stories” initiative, in which she has been working with the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation since 2023 to share books and stories with students across the state about where their food comes from.
3rd Grade Teacher Mrs. Loseke said, “We were fortunate that First Lady Pillen was able to visit us with Bushels of Stories through “Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom.” She shared about agriculture, the importance of literacy, and being appreciative. Students shared about their experiences with agriculture, and she encouraged them to thank their farming families and others important in their daily lives.”
The students had a great time listening to Mrs. Pillen and asking questions!
