Students got to see FENDT tractors and sprayers being built from a bare transmission to a finished product headed out the door. Students were also able to operate a driving simulator and compete in a game that taught them about 5S, which is a manufacturing process about organization.
We are proud to teach our students about an industry that is a major contributor to our nation's success!
They explored a corn maze! They used their listening ears during pumpkin school. They learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin, all the different parts of a pumpkin, and what people use pumpkins for! Then we ventured out to the pumpkin patch to pick our very own pumpkin! It was a wonderful day!
Thank you to the Spencer Community Schools Foundation along with the Chuck & Pat Schmidt Gift to Education Fund for making this possible!
