The first-grade class ended the month in the most delicious way, making homemade applesauce in the crockpot!

We recently celebrated National Teach Ag Day, and in honor of it, JCHS student Jetlin had the opportunity to teach an Intro to Ag class.
Currently, Jetlin is doing her Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) in Agriculture Education. An SAE is a student-led, instructor-supervised, hands-on work-based learning experience in an area of agriculture that is personally interesting to the student.
On National Teach Ag Day, she promoted agriculture and FFA by experiencing what Ag teachers do every day: teach AG! Way to go, Jetlin!
