🇮🇪 Learning Abroad: Glidden-Ralston Students Explore Ireland 🌍

What an incredible experience! This summer, 12 Glidden-Ralston students traveled to Ireland on an Educational First (EF) Agricultural Tour, spending 10 days learning about agriculture, history and Irish culture while visiting Dublin, Kilkenny and Galway.

The trip was organized by Summer Boes in partnership with Glidden-Ralston agriculture instructor and FFA advisor Krista Wallace to provide students with a unique opportunity to experience agriculture, history and culture firsthand while broadening their perspectives beyond the classroom.

From hands-on experiences at a strawberry farm and a sheepdog herding demonstration to exploring castles, churches, the Cliffs of Moher and the historic streets of Dublin, the students created memories that will last a lifetime.

A special thank you goes to everyone who supported the students through fundraisers over the past two years, including Glidden’s Masonic Lodge, as well as the parents, families and community members who helped make this unforgettable journey possible.

We’ve been sent more than 70 photos from the trip, so we’re excited to share them with our readers. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the students’ unforgettable journey through Ireland!

📸 Feel free to tag family and friends and share the album!

Just a quick heads up that I will be out of the office for the rest of this week until Monday morning, so I unfortunately won’t be able to attend the Glidden-Ralston graduation events this weekend. I truly hate to miss it and apologize for any inconvenience.

If anyone takes graduation photos and would be willing to share a few for the Glidden Graphic, I would greatly appreciate it! You can email them to [email protected].

Thank you all so much for helping me continue to cover these special community moments. Congrats to the Class of ‘26! 💙💛 -Steph
