Students at KPCS are learning about gardening and food preservation. Last year students in 7th grade planted the school garden and freshman tested the soil to create an organic fertilizer plan. The garden looks great and is producing well!Today students enjoyed fresh watermelon and tomatoes at lunch. In agriculture class, junior high learned about canning tomatoes and freshman are working on a salsa recipe in our updated classroom. Huge thank you to everyone that made this project possible!

Keya Paha FFA Officers got to spend some time in the Black Hills planning for the upcoming year. Along the way they got to make a few stops at the Days of 76 Rodeo, Homestake gold mine, downtown Deadwood, and Lake Pactola. We would like thank all our sponsors and supporters for making trips like these possible! Travel is one of the best forms of education.
