Mrs. Caldwell and our Agriculture students have been busy at SIMS—delivering home-(school)-grown broccoli to Mrs. Wilson for a healthy snack 🥦 AND welcoming our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Zinn, along with her Boer goats from Cherry Blossom Creek!
Students even helped take blood samples on a few of the goats to check for pregnancy—results coming in about a week. Talk about real-world learning! 💚📚
