Canning Applesauce

Another project of the Ag Business class after their field trip to Showalter's was to can some of the apples that we purchased.  We made applesauce.  The students learned to can along with safety aspects behind canning and why it works to preserve food.  Even more exciting, all of our jars sealed!

PALS

The Ag Business class makes a monthly visit to Fulks Run Elementary School where they participate in PALS (Partners in Active Learning Support).  The high schoolers are paired with a 3rd or 4th grader. During our visits, we assist them with homework and plan fun activities that are related to agriculture.  This month, we picked pumpkins & apples during our Showalter's Orchard field trip and then took them to our PALS to paint and decorate.  We look forward to our visit next month!

Ag Business Field Trip

To encourage the exploration of local agricultural businesses, the Ag Business class visited Showalter's Orchard and Greenhouse.  They got a first hand look at the day-to-day operations as well as information on the business, the licensure requirements and the need to expand and change.  The students also helped with the preparations for Showalter's annual apple festival.  They can't wait to go back!  Thanks so much for allowing us to come visit :)

Homecoming Parade

Despite a rainy day, the BHS Homecoming Parade went on!  We were excited to be a part of it even though everyone ended up soaked :)

Small Engines

After learning about one of the systems of the small engines, the class is excited to finally be able to start the disassembly process.  The students will learn about the various other systems and then disassemble them.

Homecoming Float Preparation

Homecoming is a very serious thing at Broadway High School, this includes homecoming week with spirit days, the dance and the homecoming parade. The FFA chapter always does an  extravagant  job on prepping the FFA float for in the parade. The theme for homecoming this year is cities, so we decided to do Louisville, since national convention is in Louisville this year.  ~Madison Hinkle, Vice President

Shop Time!

The Ag Power classes have started their warm-up wood projects.  They are making a stand to hold their phone.  It requires the use of a lot of stationary power tools that they will use later on as they make their large wood projects.
