Graham Middle School 6th grade students were treated to a “Learn with us Agriculture Event” recently. This event was facilitated by multiple high school and middle school students in the Ag pathway. The event and groups were organized by 9th grader Madi Dunham and 11th grader Makenzie Kizer, who are currently the Champaign County Miss USA Agriculture and Champaign County Teen Miss USA Agriculture. Dunham stated “Our goal with the event is to educate more than the common, more well known, sides of agriculture by engaging kids with hands-on activities.
6th graders received a mini lesson at lunch, then broke into stations for the next hour that touched on topics such as planting, harvest, show stock production, goat/sheep production, beef production, dairy and swine operations. There was also a table for FFA recruitment. GMS/OHP boasts an FFA student organization that routinely has nearly 50 students in grades 7 and 8. Mrs. Peterson, Ohio Hi Point extension teacher serving at Graham Middle School, shared that “this event was a great example of how students grow through not only being involved in agriculture in their everyday life outside of the classroom, but also how it impacts their leadership skills. You could walk around the gym hearing both middle school and high school FFA members speak up and teach others about their passion, as well as hear younger students being engaged in discussions on new topics that were being taught to them.”
State testing is just around the corner. We ask that students, get a good nights sleep, are here on time, and that they eat breakfast either at home or at school. Remind them that all we can ever expect is that students give their best effort, that's all that is within their control !
