Our HS Ag students brought in their farm animals and SAE projects on Friday to share with the school, creating a hands-on learning experience for PreK-12th grade. From a mini petting zoo to interactive displays, younger students had the chance to learn how these animals are cared for every day. We are proud of these students for their hard work, dedication to Ag, and their willingness to teach others. It was a fun, educational day for everyone involved! GO TIGERS!
