Last Wednesday 4/28 our Animal Science had a tour at Borgic Farms. Students were able to tour the Sow farm that house roughly 12,000 pigs. They raise roughly 450,000 market pigs for the pork industry and are a Family owned and ran company. They saw management and care practices, reproductive processes of Artificial Insemination (AI), farrowing & weaning process. We had 8 students try and pull piglets from sows in the farrowing barns! Half were successful, but proud of them for trying something new! They learned a lot and we enjoyed the day as a class connecting knowledge learned in class with real world principles.

What a fun way to end the school year! 💦🎈
Over the last four weeks of school, students earned tickets each week through passing grades, positive behavior, and attendance. At the end of the ticket challenge, five names from each grade level were drawn for the chance to compete in the Teachers vs. Students Water Balloon Fight!
There was plenty of laughter, friendly competition, and lots of soaked teachers and students! Thank you to our students for finishing the year strong and continuing to Do the Right Thing every day. ☀️
