Today we took our virtual field trip with @grownextgen to learn about Ohio soy beans. The kids enjoyed dancing along, as you can see from the video. 😜 I think we all were surprised at how much there was to learn about soy beans. 🫘 @FLECCPTA

GMS grade 8 students participated in the Real Money, Real World simulations recently in partnership with @grownextgen . Students not only went through financial literacy programming, but also had stations with Soy Ambassadors, @BecksHybrids , and cost analysis with teachers.
