Today, the Agronomy and Natural Resources classes took a trip to Cole Reighard’s farm to learn about soil health and cover crops. The workshop was led by NRCS soil scientists J.D. Hollingsworth and Jason Steele! The students were able to learn about multi species rotations, soil characteristics and shape, as well as the importance of making management plans! Thank you Mr. Steele, Hollingsworth, and Reighard for letting us come out! Pekin Schools

🔵Final Day of National Convention 🟡
We got up bright and early this morning to get to the first session of the day. The keynote speaker was Temple Grandin! It was an especially cool experience the students that have taken Animal Science as we talk extensively about Miss Grandin. One of the main points of her talk this morning was expressing the importance of appreciating those that think differently.

From there, we had some time to pack up before attending the rodeo. 4:30AM will be here before we know it and we will be rolling home! Pekin Schools
