The Foods I classes went on a field trip to Greenville today. They toured Marcoot Jersey Creamery, where students enjoyed cheese samples and seeing the cows. Then, they ate lunch at Joe's Pizza & Pasta. The final stop was the Milk House, where they indulged in homemade ice cream with waffle chips. It was a fun, yummy, and educational day!

Today, the seniors in civics classes were given questions about the Second Amendment, and they had to choose if they agreed or disagreed with the question while supporting their stance.

It was extra special because administrators, our SRO, teachers, and some juniors joined in on the conversations.
