JERSEY DAY
Last week, our Horticulture Agriculture class visited the elementary school to teach students about soil and its importance. High school students applied their classroom learning by creating original children’s books on the topic, which they then used to lead interactive lessons. They presented their work to Mrs. Habowski’s 2nd grade class, helping younger students engage with science in a creative and meaningful way.

We are proud of their preparation, leadership, and commitment to agricultural education.

Despite last week’s weather, our students in grades 4–7 enjoyed an incredible hands‑on learning experience with the PA Ag Lab. Through engaging science experiments and real‑world agriculture activities, students explored how agriculture connects to their everyday lives and shapes our community.

We are grateful for the high‑quality lessons, the opportunities for students to think like scientists, and the meaningful connections to Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry.

A special thank‑you goes out to our FFA student volunteers, who supported sessions throughout the week and served as outstanding role models for our younger learners.

Yesterday, our Farm to Table and Ag Science I students explored the differences between several animal breeds through hands-on observation. Chickens, bunnies, a barn cat, and goats all made an appearance and helped bring the lesson to life.

Experiences like this build real-world agricultural understanding and give students authentic connections to the concepts they learn in class. Thank you to Andrews Acres for providing the animals for this activity! 🐓 🐐
