Newsletter for the week of 12/8

Yesterday was our 2nd Quarter Student Incentive Activity in the High School. Students enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies while many played Christmas bingo, others played Eclipse Ball or were spectators but fun was had by all! Students earned the incentive by having no missing assignments, no D's or F's, and no unexcused absences and behavior referrals for the quarter! We had 46 students eligible to attend and 25 participated in the festivities!

Reminder!

Last week, our 8th grade Agriculture students got hands-on with the full process of turning wheat into a food product. They started by learning how wheat is harvested and practiced threshing—removing the kernels from the wheat stalk by hand. After collecting their kernels, students ground the wheat into flour and compared it to store-bought white flour. Using both their homemade whole-wheat flour and regular white flour they used the “tortilla-in-a-bag” method. To finish, students turned their tortillas into tasty creations—choosing between Nutella wraps or cheesy quesadillas.

It was an exciting and hands-on week in both Plant & Crop Science and Intro to Animal Science classes! Students wrapped up their learning on corn production and corn-based products with a series of creative, messy, and science-filled projects using cornstarch. They made: • Oobleck • Bioplastic • Cloud dough In Intro to Animal Science students dove into beef and dairy cattle breeds by researching specific breeds and their characteristics. Then, to bring learning to life, they decorated cookies to look like their cattle breeds—a tasty and artistic way to reinforce animal identification!

Yesterday, our Intro to Ag students visited Zehrview, a local dairy farm, to wrap up our dairy unit. Students toured the milking parlor, free-stall barns, calf areas, and even got to see their barn full of champion dairy cattle. We are incredibly grateful to Zehrview and to Rosalee for providing such an informative and memorable tour to our students!

Join the Flanagan-Cornell FFA Chapter for a Line Dancing Night—open-house style and open to the public! ALL students are welcome to attend but grade school students need to be accompanied by an adult.

Come and go as you please, learn a few fun steps, dance with friends, or just enjoy the music! No experience needed.

All proceeds will support cancer research, so every shuffle, stomp, and smile helps make a difference.

Students in Ag Construction have been working in "Santa's Workshop" to create winter decor. They used their knowledge of using hand tools, portable tools, and stationary tools to create these beautiful projects!
