Yesterday we had the opportunity to host our 5th Grade Progressive Agriculture Safety Day!

We welcomed 206 students from 3 of our 4 local schools across the county for a day focused on learning important safety skills through hands-on experiences and interactive activities. Students rotated through 9 educational stations covering a variety of topics designed to help keep them safe at home, on the farm, and in everyday life.

A huge thank you goes out to all of our presenters, volunteers, schools, and community partners who helped make this event possible. We appreciate everyone who invested their time and knowledge into making the day fun, engaging, and educational for our youth!

This event was coordinated by Ashley Huffine, 4-H Educator, and Candace Heer, Family and Consumer Sciences Educator.

We are proud to continue providing opportunities that help students learn valuable life skills and safety awareness. 🚜☀️
