Eisenhower Kindergarteners Have A Local 4-H Farm Field TripTammy Boggs, former Eisenhower librarian and current 4-H STEM program coordinator, extended an invitation for Eisenhower kindergarten students to tour their farm.
While Ed and Tammy Boggs have hosted many farm tours over the years to local students, this was the first tour for Eisenhower kindergarten students hosted by 4-H volunteers, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
“We like to share agriculture! We want students to know where their food comes from and how it’s grown. Hopefully, after students tour the farm, and they see a farmer working in the field, they will make the connection that all farmers are working to feed the world,” Tammy said.
Tammy’s 4-H family and colleagues joined her to make this a very special and educational field trip. Students moved from station to station and learned all about how a seed grows into our food, how hard farmers work, how important livestock is and more. There was engagement as students also climbed into farm vehicles, played a game to dress like a farmer, had a picnic lunch and made a seed necklace, stated the release.
Warsaw Community Schools offers appreciation to farmers and to all who serve in the agriculture industry, stated the release. WCS students and their families can join 4-H for upcoming events like 4-H Day Camps, the 4-H Roadshows, and the County Fair on July 11-16.
