Let's go camping! This week we learned camping activities, projects, and about nature you may encounter. Then we pitched a tent and made a smore!
The 2023 Winner in Dairy Production – Entrepreneurship is Alexis of the Iowa – Grant FFA. This proficiency is sponsored by Crystal Farms Dairy Company.
Alexis received her first brown swiss because she begged her dad for one after falling in love with their personality. Now, Alexis owns a herd of 100 Brown Swiss, with 70% being born on the family farm. Alexis assists in all aspects of daily care including feeding, cleaning pens, milking cows, monitoring herd health, and treating sickness. In 2019, Alexis was able to gain even further skills, as she started making the breeding decisions, keeping records, and doing registration for her own herd. Additionally, Alexis provides special care to her show cattle by walking, washing, and feeding a special ration to them to ensure that they are ready to be shown.
Alexis’ advisor is Mrs. Lara Hammerly.
We would like to recognize the state finalists in Dairy Production (Entrepreneurship):
Second: Paige of the Marshall FFA
Third: Rebecca of the Bigfoot FFA
Fourth: Tanna of the Loyal FFA
Fifth: Estella of the Mineral Point FFA
Alexis will find out this summer if she is selected as one of four national finalists. If selected, Alexis will compete at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., in November.
Lots of fun is being had in our science summer school class! Monday students explored chemical reactions with different household items including: vinegar, baking soda, dish soap and yeast. On Tuesday students learned about Newton's first law of motion and other forces. They then explored those ideas with different hands on activities.

Sixth grade students finished out the metabolism internship by making their own nutrition bars. They were given a budget of $10 per group for all of the ingredients. The students had to make a report about their bars. The report included how their ingredients meet the metabolic needs of a target population, an eye-catching label for their bar, and recipes they were not able to use based on the constraints they were given. Students did a great job collaborating!
Thank you IG PTC for providing Bouncy Houses on Tuesday. The students of IGEMS had a wonderful experience while wrapping up the school year.
