🐄 Week 2 of Ag Ed on the Move! 🌾

Our 3rd graders learned all about the beef industry and the many products it provides for us! 🥩 From learning where our food comes from to discovering the importance of agriculture, students enjoyed an engaging, hands-on lesson with our high school students.

Beef Product Bingo was a HIT! We love seeing our students learn, interact, and make connections with our older Pintos through these fun and educational lessons.

A big thank-you to our high school students for helping bring agriculture education to life for our younger learners!

It’s a great day to be a Pinto! ❤️💙
