Fall on the Farm-2nd Grade

On Friday, September 23rd, Mrs. Missy Jones' and Mrs. Ballard's 2nd grade classes from Farmington Elementary enjoyed a visit to Fall on the Farm in Murray, KY. Students experienced many exhibits that were both informational and fun.

Farmington Elementary students were rewarded for a successful PTO fundraiser by a visit from nationally known magician Rick Smith Jr. Smith holds a Guiness World Record for throwing a playing card 216 ft. 4 in. at a speed of 92 MPH. Third grader MaKenzie Mason helped Smith put a straight jacket on juggling phenomenon Billy Matsumoto. Matsumoto was able to get out of the straight jacket with no help. Farmington friends will be featured on the pair's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Rick-Smith-Jr.

Farmington Elementary kindergarteners received a visit from "Johnny Appleseed" (aka Doug Moore). Moore told a story and read a book to each of the three kindergarten classrooms. He explained how apple cider is made, then gave each friend an apple and the chance to try apple cider.

Moore (center) is pictured with Carter Morris (left) and Logan Phillips (right) in Jill Dobson's classroom.
