Football & Star Wars Fans Unite! Fri, May 3-7:05pm Sioux Falls STORM take on the Green Bay Blizzard to support Operation Hope & Caring, a fundraiser for SFSD elementary schools without PTAs. Wear Star Wars gear, grab a light saber, and get in on the fun!
The Agriculture Program at CTE Academy recently received a sow from Pipestone to learn all about the farrowing process. Yesterday, Barbie gave birth to a batch of babies! Students got to be there for the birthing process and helped things along the way. It doesn't get much more hands on than that! This is the perfect example of how special and exciting our programing at CTE is and how important it is for students.
Barbie has more babies than she has spots at the dinner table to feed all her babies. Some of them that get enough food are put in a small basket to nap while the other smaller ones have a chance to eat. This is to make sure everyone's belly is full!!
Make sure to turn the sound up to hear the occasional cute squeals!
🐷Follow along with the Barbie Blog and LIVE CAM to learn more about the CTE piglet experience!
