Athens Middle School

The Athens FFA hosted Food for America for the 3rd and 4th graders in the school district. Food for America is a program that teaches students about all aspects of agriculture. They got to go to Miltrim Farms to learn all about the awesome dairy cow, take a farm tour and complete a day in the life of a dairy farmer. Thank you to everyone at Miltrims Farms for helping us host this awesome event!

Huge congratulations to Kaydin and Katelynn! These two FFA members are set to receive their State FFA Degree in June at the WI State FFA Convention.
