Supporting Our School Families

Our school agriculture program is proud to give back to our community by providing farm-raised chickens and food baskets to families in need. These items were prepared and raised with care by our students as part of their hands-on learning in agriculture, responsibility, and service.

This effort reflects the heart of our program—learning by doing, and giving by caring. We are grateful for the opportunity to support our school families and to teach our students the value of helping others through agriculture.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.

🥞🚜 Thank You for Supporting Our Pancake Breakfast! 🚜🥞

A huge thank you to Revive Ministries and to our amazing community for coming out Saturday morning to support our pancake breakfast fundraiser! Thanks to your generosity, we had a fantastic turnout and raised a very generous amount toward our goal.

We’re excited to share that we’ll soon be purchasing the first tractor for the Ag barn! 🚜🌱

This isn’t just any tractor—it will be used for barn teaching, hands-on learning, and tractor safety education, helping our students build real-world agricultural skills in a safe, structured environment.

Your support is making a real difference in our students’ learning and future. We’re so grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, flipped pancakes, or simply showed up to eat and support the cause.

This is what community looks like—and we couldn’t do it without you!
