Earlier this week, the First Grade Classes visited Faherty Recycling in Platteville. They started the tour by being weighed just like the materials that are brought in are weighed. Can you believe that the entire group weighed almost 6000 pounds? They got to see the facility and learned about cool products that are made from recycled materials like carpet, deck material, and jeans. After the tour they visited Smith Park to have lunch and play. It's an amazing park and the kids had so much fun! #fes #EaglesSoar

Fourth grade paired up with the FFA students to learn how food goes from farm to table. They started by visiting Lazy M Farms to see how dairy farms work. Then they visited Sugar and Spice where all students got the chance to plant a tomato plant. On their next stops they visited Jentz's farm to learn all about beef cattle and Bender's Foods to learn how they process everything. They capped off their perfect day of learning by enjoying delicious ice cream at Udder Brothers. A special thanks to all of our local hosts for providing us the opportunity to learn more about the agriculture industry in our area. #fes #EaglesSoar

A huge thanks to Peoples State Bank for this wonderful learning opportunity. #fes #EaglesSoar
