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.
