Bristol County Agricultural High School: Aggie Weekly- December 7th

Aggie Weekly

Good Afternoon Students, Parents, and Community Members:
This week our students enjoyed an early release day on Thursday, while our teachers were hard at work developing curriculum. Our teachers continuously work behind the scenes to develop units and lesson plans to ensure we are maximizing student success. Our winter sports season officially starts next week. Take a look at the calendar below to cheer on our student-athletes during their home games. With only two weeks until winter break, let’s make sure that you are all caught up on your work prior to the new year.

This week we had two High Five Club Winners:

Students preparing for the holiday season.

Flori Seniors: Flori Seniors designed their first winter wedding. Students used a mix of winter greens, red and white roses and decorative christmas balls.

Agricultural Mechanics: On Friday, in Mr. Medeiros exploratory class, students learned how to use the tire machine, weld, and use the chop saw. Safety first!

Animal Science: This week The Bristol Aggie Animal Science Dept was awarded the honor of being selected as one of the top quality milk producers from the Agri-Mark Cooperative. Each year Agri Mark recognizes its members who achieve this status at their annual regional meeting. To be chosen for this award you must meet strict criteria of the highest standards in milk quality throughout the entire year. Each farm’s milk is tested at every pick up to ensure low levels of bacteria, somatic cell counts, and always must be 100% free of any antibiotics.
Even though we often get this award it is not guaranteed every year. It is only because of the daily efforts from everyone involved in the success of our farm that we are able to produce such top quality milk every single day.

Activities and Athletics:
Girls Basketball: On Tuesday, the girls hosted Dighton-Rehoboth for a scrimmage. We loved the hustle from our athletes from beginning to end. Keep up the great work ladies. #BAPride
