On our last day of Agriculture Enrichment, we visited Marcoot Jersey Creamery. We learned how they care for their dairy cows and how they make their delicious cheese and ice cream. We even got to sample some of their cheese and ice cream! This was such a fun week filled with lots of learning and adventures!
It wouldn't be Agriculture Enrichment if we didn't get our hands a little dirty!! On day 4, we traveled to the St. Louis Science Center where we visited the GROW Exhibit. We learned about soil composition and how to grow healthy plants. We also got to make mud pies, check out their farming equipment, and practice milking a cow.
We knew day 3 of Agriculture Enrichment was going to be great when we checked the forecast. We had a beautiful day filled with lots of new memories made. Today we visited Rainbow Ranch where cowboy Al taught us about his animals. He taught us all about how they care for their livestock and their exotic animals. Students pushed themselves outside of their comfort zones and even fed some of the animals.
BACK TO SCHOOL INFORMATON FOR OUR GREYHOUNDS!
Congratulations to our Junior High boys baseball team for winning their season opener today over Ofallon First Baptist 16-0 in 3 innings. Congratulations coaches and team, Go Greyhounds!
Day 2 of Agriculture Enrichment! Today Mason Shirley from the Mascoutah Boy Scouts Troop gave a presentation on conserving our natural resources. Then we headed to Carlyle Lake where a park ranger gave us a dam tour and they earned their junior ranger badge. They learned about the history of Carlyle Lake and water/wildlife conservation. After the dam tour, Mason Shirley led the students on a short hike and we ended our visit with a scavenger hunt at the visitors center.
