FARM EQUIPMENT DAY

Last month Brownsburg students learned about many aspects of farming as local farmers and agriculture professionals joined students from White Lick Elementary and Eagle Elementary for Farm Equipment Day. Students were able to see a variety of things that farmers do to help provide the food they eat and the products they use. We look forward to future Farm Equipment Days where we can rotate the experience to the students in all of our elementary schools.
