No farmers, no food!
Mrs. Davis's 6th grade Math class had "Pumpkin Week" recently.The kids did activities such as using the pumpkins for measuring, checking density and weight, culminating in making a graph. Mr. White of White's Farm Market came to speak to the class, and brought in samples of pumpkins, squash, and gourds; explaining how Native Americans utilized carving these items to create bowls and spoons to eat with. He spoke of agriculture and the family history of White's, and how important it is to continue agriculture. "No farmers, no food"!
