Bat Box Workshop = SUCCESS! 🦇

We had a great turnout yesterday for our workshop. Participants learned about the importance of bats in our ecosystem, picked up some practical skills they can use at home, and even left with their own bat boxes! Big thanks to everyone who came out and asked great questions. That’s what Extension is all about!

If you’d like more info on bats, check out the Extension site linked below!

We had a great time at Vanguard Christian School yesterday discussing how to reduce waste to benefit the earth. We also discussed composting as we introduced biodegradable plastic. The kids had a great time making their own plastic to take home to possibly watch compost into the soil.

I had a great time reading to the kids at the Pike County MS LIFT Resource & Referral Center about eating the rainbow! The first book was a Schoolastic book called "Eat Your Colors" and we pointed out favorite foods found on the table, and then we read Eric Carle "The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Rainbow Colors" and pointed out the colorful foods we may eat, and not eat "NO! We don't eat a fire truck!" One class had to show their muscles from eating healthy foods.
