ST. JOHNS – St. Johns Public Schools and Central Michigan University have signed an agreement to create a university lab school with an agricultural focus.
Known as an Ag-STEM school, it will be the first of its kind in Michigan, and possibly in the United States, St. Johns Superintendent Dedrick Martin said.
Gateway Elementary School will be the Ag-STEM school in St. Johns – a school where science, technology, engineering and math concepts will be introduced with a decidedly agricultural focus.

I really love this project, because Clinton County is such an agriculturally-focused region. The school board in St Johns is working hard to come up with new curriculum ideas, and I think this one will resonate with the community.

In farm news, the guys were able to fix the wheel loader this afternoon! Kris said it wasn't that bad this morning, despite the cold, but everyone was happy that they had a closed cab for tonight and for the rest of the upcoming cold, cold week.
