The Sleepy Eye Summer Agricultural Education program has been busy over the months of June and July. Along with leadership and tour opportunities, short hands-on classes have been taking place at Sleepy Eye Public School.
Beginning on July 17th, the first of the Summer Ag. Classes began including Cooking and Baking. Through these courses, students learned a variety of cooking and baking techniques and made dishes from crepes to cookies, breakfast and desserts.
Beginning on July 18th, the Summer Welding Class began. In this course, students learned about MIG Welding Safety and Techniques. After making their first weld, students practiced in order to make welding beads and welding joints including butt, lap, and T with different thicknesses of metal.
It is so great for FFA members to come in during the summer to learn new skills or to further develop the skills they have! Total student enrollment for all of the classes was 55 in attendance.
The FFA members will be continuing their involvement this summer with booths at Party in the Park, Farmfest, and Summerfest, as well as county fair and more leadership opportunities.
