Our NEMS Basic Ag students got their hands dirty while learning about soil horizons! 🌱 In this unit, students explored the different layers of soil and what makes each one unique. To bring learning to life, they created their own soil profiles in a jar—carefully layering materials to represent each horizon. They also had the chance to build (and eat!) edible soil horizons, making the lesson both fun and memorable.

Hands-on activities like these help students better understand the world beneath our feet while connecting science to real-life experiences. Great job, students! 👏

Taking Pride in Our Campus! 🌿💙Our NEMS FBLA students were hard at work on Thursday💙

Members took pride in giving back to their school through a campus clean-up initiative—picking up litter, beautifying common areas, and showing what it means to take responsibility for their environment. 🌿

This experience highlighted the power of leadership, teamwork, and community involvement—core values of FBLA. We are proud of our students for making a visible difference and demonstrating that service and stewardship go beyond the classroom. 💪✨
