In Agriculture class we develop a love for the land and animals. We learn about how to take care of animals and plants. We take that knowledge and apply it to our community garden and animals. Students in Agriculture class get dirty. We don't say we do these things, we DIG IN and get it done! Agriculture students get to go on field trips and participate in community speaker events.
WARNING
WARNING
If you are allergic to animals, please reconsider taking this class. Students take care of the animals and we have live animals in our classroom.
We get dirty! Students are responsible for planting and maintaining our community garden. Sometimes, we get a little dirty while doing this.
