FFA and 4H Members Bring Farm Experience to Byron-Bergen BY GRETCHEN SPITTLER
I
n June, the Byron-Bergen FFA brought agriculture education to the Kindergarten classes. Members of the FFA introduced the younger students to a variety of animals including cows, sheep, goats, and ducks. The outdoor event on the Elementary School grounds was a collaboration between FFA Advisor Jeffrey Parnapy and Kindergarten Teacher Ayn Gardner. “We reached out to local people who own animals, a farmer brought his tractor in, and we’re also learning about different kinds of feed,” said Parnapy. “Both 4H and FFA members are presenting their animals and answering the kindergarteners’ questions.” In some cases, the younger students were able to touch the animals. “I like petting the lambs,” said kindergarten student Evelyn Haywood. “Looking around today, I already think that this is going to have to be a yearly event,” said Parnapy. “Everyone is having a blast and I’m so excited that we were able to provide this experience for the kindergarten students.” Upstate Milk donated milk and cheese sticks for all the students and the FFA provided goodie bags for participating elementary students.
