Bowers Farm Welcomes Students From Birmingham

Dozens of first grade students from Bingham Farms Elementary spent the afternoon Monday learning about farm life first hand at the Charles Bowers School Farm.

The special event is part of an annual visit the Birmingham Public Schools makes to broaden student experiences, officials said. More than 50 students toured the grounds, ride a wagon to the pumpkin patch to select their own pumpkin, and milked a goat.

"Some of them will be able to have material they can work with for weeks," said teacher Vida Sadler-Haase, who plans to incorporate the visit in the classroom's writing project.
