6th Grade Math and Science Teacher
Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary School
We believe that agriculture offers engaging and empowering learning opportunities that help students become innovative problems solvers, equipping them with essential skills.
Hands-on learning such as planting, harvesting, and managing crops encourage students to apply their knowledge of STEM concepts to real world challenges.
