There are no excuses for late work in a teacher's mind so I won't even begin to try to explain why we have not updated the blog since State Convention. However, it is the end of the school year which means it's time to work outside and wrap up projects!
The students did a great job finishing the fire pit project. It turned out beautiful and the track students tested it out a couple of nights ago. It works great!
Here is the Agri-business class which came up with the grant idea and helped with the project.
Spring also means tree planting time. The junior high and landscaping classes planted 160 seedlings around campus. We plant as many trees as we can in 5 gallon buckets with the bottoms cut out of them (we are always running out of 5 gallon buckets). This helps prevent against the trees getting run over by the lawn mower and helps contain moisture.
Here is the junior high group after a successful day of planting!
The junior high class also did a water infiltration lab where we tested the infiltration rate on 4 different types of land use areas-seasonally grazed pasture, no-till corn field, football field, and a native grassland area.
Our landscaping class had a very hard final exam-we went to the golf course to learn about the maintenance of a golf course and then had to play a couple holes to test their skill. We had a great time there and appreciate the Miller Country Club for hosting us.
Stay tuned for pictures from our banquet and other odds and ends that I missed here. Thanks!
