"Preschoolers had a fun and educational day with a special visit from a baby calf and a combine! 🐄🚜 They even got to see their classmate, Lane, bottle feeding the calf, making the experience even more memorable! 🌟
It was a great opportunity to learn about life on the farm and see firsthand how things work in the agricultural world. A huge thank you to Cody and Lisa Weber, parents of Lane, for making this incredible experience possible and bringing the farm right to our school! 🌾❤️ #wdbqschools #desbobcats
