Samantha DeOliveira and Bella Erb attended a Sullivan Supply’s 2 day ‘Grad Program’ to learn more about showing cattle.
This two day event in Lowell, Mi partnered with local industry experts to learn about daily care, clipping, fitting, proper breakdown, showmanship, and nutrition.

What a great day to kick off the summer show and fair season prep.

Yesterday, the Ag room was lit by flashlights as 8th graders kicked off their poultry CDE mini contest. (No power needed😉)

All students learned the anatomy of an egg, what USDA interior egg grading standards are and then got to practice grading air cells themselves.

Today isn’t just the last day of school, it’s the closing of a chapter filled with memories, growth, laughter, challenges, and friendships that will last far beyond these hallways. Watching you grow into the people you are today has been such a privilege, and while it’s hard to say goodbye, there’s so much excitement in knowing the incredible things waiting ahead for each of you.

No matter where life takes you next, never forget where you started, the people who believed in you, and the impact you’ve already made. Keep chasing big dreams, stay kind, work hard, and trust that you are capable of more than you know.

We are so proud of you always.
