On May 28th, the students and staff at Rivers Elementary School welcomed a group of local farmers and agribusiness people to come and share their knowledge about all things AG for an afternoon of learning. Students were divided up into their 8 family groupings and spent the afternoon listening, participating and learning about various Agribusiness opportunities and operations. Needless to say, this learning opportunity was well received by all students and the chance to do some hands-on learning was greatly appreciated by everyone.
The students and staff would like to extend a massive thank you to the people and local businesses below for helping us make this Agri-Afternoon a huge success.
