Highland Elementary School kindergarten and first grade classes rounded out their year studying jobs in the community. They took a field trip and toured Corsey Springs Fish Hatchery and Heatwole’s farm and dairy. Students also enjoyed a five-mile walk around Monterey to learn about our community workers. Both grades toured VDOT; Monterey Post Office; sheriff’s office; and Highland Medical Center. Kindergarten toured the Blue Grass Valley Bank while first grade toured Burke & Herbert Bank. Everyone enjoyed a picnic lunch at The Highland Center under the farmers market pavilion. Above, Claire Heatwole explains the operation of his dairy farm to Highland elementary students.
Bonnie Jean Warner and Lenny Jackson listen to each other’s hearts at Highland Medical Center as part of the walking tour of community jobs.
The kindergarten class honored Frances “Ms. Frankie” Roberson during the Kindergarten Night celebration. Roberson is retiring.
