Our 3rd graders from Mrs. Bean’s and Mrs. Franz’s classes recently enjoyed a fantastic field trip to the high school agricultural program. The students had the opportunity to learn about various agricultural practices, and it was a wonderful experience that fostered their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
