about the importance of agriculture in our community. Animals may include: Chickens, ducks, rabbits,

pigs, miniature dairy cows, and a dog who demonstrates herding in a safe and controlled setting.

A huge thank you to our partners at Valdosta High School for bringing this engaging and hands on

experience for our students! 💛

(animal, environmental, etc.) that we should be aware of, please notify your child’s teacher or the
