(8/7): Our 6th grade Agriculture students are learning that caring for animals takes teamwork, responsibility, and a little bit of elbow grease! This week, students rolled up their sleeves — equipped with gloves and shoe covers — to clean out the chicken pens, refresh nesting boxes, and make sure our feathered friends had fresh food and clean water. While it wasn’t the cleanest job, our students took pride in keeping the coop in tip-top shape — and the chickens seemed extra happy with their fresh digs!
