We are third graders at Jefferson Hills Intermediate school.  In 2017 I had this crazy idea to hatch chicks in the classroom.  We embarked on this adventure and after a few years, we decided to take it to the next level.  With the help of the West Jefferson Hills Foundation Grant, it allowed us the funds to collaborate with the Thomas Jefferson High School to build our very own chicken coop and keep the chicks on site at Jefferson Hills Intermediate School.  Now, the students will have the opportunity to learn so many new things.  From taking care of the chickens by feeding them and caring for their coop to running their own business by selling eggs and other EGGG-citing things. (sorry... I had to)

A year later, we now have 10 egg laying hens.  It is such an amazing opportunity for the students to care for and watch them produce the eggs.

This past summer, our wonderful custodians, Mr. Leroy and Mr. Denny built the girls a new home on the playground.  We can't wait to hatch more eggs this spring.
Take a minute to meet our girls, see some photos, check out our store, and if you can, browse our wish list and donations page.  There is also a special page to ask any questions.
