Parents …. please put your child’s name in her/his coat with a permanent marker. We have many jackets on the “lost and found” rack in the hallway in the main wing.

Herty Primary students experienced a very unique lesson this week. Southwest Dairy Farmers brought a a milk cow to the school and enlightened our students on the value and nutrition of milk along with a lesson on where, when and how milk is gathered and produced!

Students witnessed the jersey be electronically milked while the milk collected into a tank on the mobile dairy. Click on “read more” to see a gallery of pictures from this fun learning journey.
