The second graders had a blast yesterday at Gooseneck in Harvey! They toured the store, checked out machinery, and asked tons of questions. They even got to munch on popcorn while watching a farm safety video. The pedal tractor races were a hit! Landon and Jacie were the champs; they each received a toy combine set as their prize. Each student was sent home with a lunchbox full of goodies.
