Ag Day 2017

On Thursday, October 12, the 4th graders at Bear Creek braved the chilly, rainy weather to participate in a very special educational experience at the fairgrounds. Students in grades 9 - 12 who are taking classes as part of the agriculture department at the high school presented Agriculture and Environmental Education Day.

The high school students have worked since the beginning of the year to create stations to help the 4th graders learn about farming and our environment. Through the ten different stations, the kids had many hands on opportunities to learn about how people impact their environment and how agriculture is an important part of the Elizabethtown community. The fourth graders were excited to pet many different animals, climb in tractors, try different foods, and participate in different games and activities. Each of these stations provided students with background knowledge that we can using during our science and social studies units this year.

Please enjoy these pictures of our morning at the fairgrounds and ask your child to tell you about their favorite part of the day!
