Thanks to the Dairy Council, students at Gonsalves Elementary School learned about where the dairy products we buy come from. The Dairy Council brought Bailey, a 1,900-pound cow from Ontario, for a Mobile Dairy Assembly. Students learned about a cow’s life cycle, anatomy, agriculture, and milk processing.
On the heels of earning a National Blue Ribbon Award, Carver Academy has been popular, hosting other schools and school district representatives from across the state.
