The kindergarten class visited the Ag room today and learned about the life cycle of a plant, how to plant seeds, and the necessities for plants to grow. Then, with the help of the high school Plant and Soil Science students, they each planted their own flower seeds. The high school students will water their seeds for them, and the kindergarteners will come check their seed growth periodically. Once their plants are sprouted, they will get to transplant them to bigger pots.




Congratulations to the Seniors being recognized tonight for their final home game.
