Check out the story that was posted on the
Hillsborough County School's Newsdesk.
Did you read about us in the Progressive Dairyman magazine? The kids were so excited to see their cows in the magazine. A special thanks to Peggy Coffeen, Editor, Progressive Dairyman for including us in the December issue.
Sassy Cows 4 Savvy Kids
Students gain practical life experiences through their hard work in this program. They develop skills to prepare them to be productive, informed and educated citizens. Communication, teamwork, responsibility, math and record keeping, self-motivation, discipline, personal safety, decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, service learning, and organization are just a few of the skills learned.
Corn: It's A"maize"ing
We have been studying corn. All kinds of corn - sweet corn, popcorn and field corn. This week we made corn salsa and taste tested it with corn chips. We will be putting together our 2nd edition recipe book and will include this recipe in it. We also made popcorn on the stove and in the microwave. We tried it with different flavorings. It was delicious.
Florida State Fair 2016
We had 35 animals (and kids!) that participated in the Florida State Fair. Half of these kids were special needs kids from Riverview High School and Pepin Academy while the rest were regular education students. It was an exciting and busy time for all.
Beginning an exciting new year!
Our newest group of Savvy Kids!
They are so excited to work with the calves. Each student is given the opportunity to care for a calf. We really appreciate the dairymen from across the state allowing us to lease calves for these students to gain life long skills.
