Reed Ranch School had a full day of learning and fun at our dairy farm tour on Tuesday. We visited both Vanden Broek Farms, giving us the opportunity to see a rotary milking parlor, and a robotic dairy operation. To top off our visit, a calf was born during our visit!

As part of our social studies unit on government, the grade 3 and 4 students welcomed our School Board Trustee Kathy Kemmere, and local county councilor Jennifer Lutz to come and speak to us. Students learned about our school division and what the role of trustees are, and about county governance and the importance of voting and running for positions. A big thank you to these ladies for coming out to speak to our kids!
