Once upon a time, kindergartners gathered together in magical gowns and costumes to dance the morning away at a Fairytale Ball! The Ball is a new tradition that helps wrap up their ELA unit on fairytales. They danced and sang. A few wolves chased princesses. Dresses twirled and the music kept the party going all morning long! What a great way to end a magical unit!

West Liberty-Salem Ag Sciences hosted Ag Science Day for elementary students yesterday, a tradition that has become both a Chapter and elementary student favorite. Ag Science Day teaches young students about all things Agriculture. They visit several stations featuring farm animals and farm implements that are used in everyday farming practices in our community! All of the animals and most equipment are owned by our students and their families. Students are offered the opportunity to interact with the animals, climb up in the seat of a tractor or combine, ask questions, and of course, receive a sweet popsicle treat at the end. Our Ag students were eager and ready to answer so many well-thought questions from students. The future of WL-S FFA is bright!
