🌾📚 Our FFA students brought agriculture to life this week during Ag in the Classroom! They spent time at Southwest Elementary reading to students, sharing stories about farming and food, and showing how agriculture touches everyday life. 🐄

Big thanks to our FFA members for making learning fun and inspiring the next generation! 💛💚

It's a great day to be a Red Tornado! 🌪️

Yesterday, our Southwest Elementary students joined our School Resource Officers for a K-pop Demon Hunters Words Matter presentation! 🗣️💬

They learned how to recognize threats, violence, and bullying in their school. It was a powerful reminder that words and actions both matter in building a safe, positive community. They also had a great time singing along!

Thank you Officer Wilson and Officer Whitten for helping our students understand that "We can't fix it, if we don't face it."
