Final Reminder. BVHS Interact Club and Civics Students will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, March 24th. 1:00 for ages 2-5 and 2:00 for ages 6-10. Hope to see everyone there. Lots of candy. The Parlor Coffee will be on-site...and so will the Easter Bunny!
🌾🔬🍞 Students in Intro to Ag Science delved into experimentation! They selected leavening agents (Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Active Dry Yeast, and Instant Rise Yeast) and crafted research questions. Then, they designed and conducted experiments, recording detailed observations. Finally, they presented findings, reflecting on their hands-on learning journey. Let's bake up some knowledge together! 👩🔬📊
🌟 Putting Knowledge to Practice! 🍞 In the next lesson, Intro to Ag students transformed their understanding of leavening agents into delicious creations. Using yeast, they crafted flavorful garlic knots, blending theory with hands-on experience.👩🍳🧄
🌟 Join us in wishing luck to BV FFA Member, Ella Thacker, as she competes with her Supervised Agricultural Experience project at State Awards Day this Saturday! 🚜🏆 Proud to announce she's one of the top 5 finalists in the state for Diversified Agricultural Production. Go Ella! 💪
