Hydroponics at FSHS!

For the last five weeks, students in Floriculture/Greenhouse have been growing a crop of buttercrunch lettuce. Over the course of the five weeks, students had to take daily pH readings and use EC (electrical conductivity) to monitor nutrient levels. If nutrients were lacking, students had to determine the correct amount of liquid fertilizer to apply. Stay tuned for an update early next year about the expanding hydroponics program at FSHS!

Animal Science!

What a great first semester it has been at FSHS! Students have learned how to use and handle microscopes to examine different cells. Animal Science students had the opportunity to dissect and learn about the earthworm and its niche in agriculture. Some weren't too sure about this, but it was a great experience for all! Freshman Ag Science is finishing up their first speech and are learning about the history of agriculture.

Ag Entrepreneurship has had an opportunity to visit a few small businesses in the area: CCC/ Cleland Cattle Company, Long Creek Outfitters, Fort Scott Wash Out, Mill Creek Veterinary Hospital and Kramer's Exotic Animal Farm. Students are learning how businesses advertise, what they're looking for in an employee and what makes their business valuable in the Fort Scott Area.

Class of 2025 Hosts FSHS Prom in May!

Juniors can still sell two boxes of candy bars instead of paying out-of-pocket for prom. Pick up boxes from Ms. Lewis, room #120. Any Junior who doesn't sell at least two boxes will need to pay $50.00 before 12/15/2023. Juniors have until the end of January to pay $75.00 to attend. After February 1, 2024, it is $100.00 for Juniors to attend the 2024 FSHS Prom this May.

This increase in price is so that we have money to purchase supplies sooner rather than later.

Thank you!
