Today marked the first of several Sr. Knights Social Club classes for the 26-27 school year. Special thanks to Mrs. Emily Mazursky, our Community Schools Coordinator, for including CTE Agriculture in the program. Today we highlighted Farm to Fork and canned Apple Pie Filling. Each participant took home enough for a 9” pie. The next class will be November 20th and will highlight Basic Floral Design while making table arrangements for Thanksgiving.

🌻🐄📚 Just another day in the life of a Middle School Ag kiddo!

Where else can your day go from harvesting sunflower heads 🌻 to reading with animals, and then testing a recipe made with ingredients you helped grow and raise?!

Today, we put our homegrown spaghetti squash and beef from our own cows to the test in a taco bake! 🌮

Kid tested… KID APPROVED!🙌😋

This is what I LOVE about Ag Education! Our kids aren’t just learning about agriculture in a textbook. They’re getting their hands dirty, caring for animals, growing food, learning where their food comes from, and turning that knowledge into real-life skills.

From the garden to the barn to the kitchen, there’s learning happening every step of the way! 🌱❤️

Ag is so much more than a class. It’s real-world learning, and these kids and teacher are loving it!

🌱 Ag teacher for life! 💚💛

If you’re confused about what Portrait of a Graduate really looks like, let me show you what makes me so excited about the way we teach Ag!

This is Billy Savage—and he’s only a 9th grader.

Today, Billy showed me exactly what we hope to see in a graduate.

Billy was working on his Sculptural Welding project and ran into a problem. Instead of coming to me or Mrs. Edwards and asking us to figure out what he was doing wrong, he stopped, looked at what he was doing, thought about it, and figured it out himself.

THAT is Portrait of a Graduate.

In Ag, we are teaching students more than how to MIG weld. We are teaching them how to think for themselves, problem-solve, persevere, make decisions, and learn from their mistakes.

In Sculptural Welding, students are putting their skills to the test by designing and creating a 3D fish of their choice. They are learning the technical skills of MIG welding, but more importantly, they are applying those skills through project-based learning.

Some students rushed through the process and realized they had made mistakes. So what did they do? They started over. They learned that sometimes patience is key and that getting it right is more important than getting it done quickly.

And the welding? Believe it or not, it’s only about 10% welding and 90% preparation. Measuring, planning, thinking ahead, making adjustments, and problem-solving are where so much of the learning happens.

This is why I LOVE teaching Ag.

We give kids real problems, real projects, real skills, and the opportunity to figure things out. We don’t always give them the answer—we give them the tools and let them THINK.

Watching a 9th grader like Billy take ownership of his learning, work through a problem, and figure it out without needing someone to give him the answer is one of those moments that makes this Ag teacher incredibly proud. ❤️

Ag teacher for life.
