The students and teachers at the Caldwell County Primary School had a special treat on Friday when they got to get out of the classroom to see, pet, and learn about live animals, learn about growing plants, and go on a scavenger hunt.
This experience could only be called a “Super Duper Day” thanks to the efforts of the Primary and High School leadership, plus the high school FFA program.
The classes at the Primary School took turns making their way up the hill to the high school to learn about various agriculture projects and also visit a school they will be attending in years to come.
Primary School Teacher Kara Jenkins explained this day is a win-win project for everyone involved.
