Being that the weather officially feels like fall, we thought we'd look back on some amazing things that the Summer Agriculture Class did this year!
Homeschooled youth as well as Battle Lake and Underwood students piloted the first ever Summer Agriculture Class!
All students that took this course are now eligible for FFA! This has been a great partnership for Battle Lake with Underwood schools and homeschooled students! In the class, students learned about seedbed preparation, floriculture, robotics, drone applications, & more!
These Subjects could not have been taught without the help of a few generous sponsors:
The Family of Al Boyum in Memory of Al Boyum: Garden Boxes
MAELC Strategic Initiatives Grant: Drones and FarmBots
MDE Agriculture Educator Grant: Summer Hours
Christensen Construction: Soil & Sand
FFA Alumni: Garden Help
We want to thank them and the parents of these students so much for making this program a success and allowing students to explore their interest in agriculture!

Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day is an annual event that involves communities from across the country (and globe!) walking and rolling to school on the same day. On October 9, thousands of schools across America—from all 50 sates, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico - participated. Over time, this event has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school with record breaking participation each October. Check out Battle Lake School students participating in this event!

Mr. Meissner's Robotics class buildt and programmed robots that traveled in patterns designed by the teacher. Objective 1. The robot had to travel 10ft turn around and come back in a straight line. Objective 2. The robot had to travel in a 3x4 rectangle. Take a look!
