Field Day
Essay Contest Winner
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau's Ag in the Classroom program offers an annual essay contest for 4th and 5th grade students. This year’s essay contest topic was, "You’re Gonna Need Milk for That – Wisconsin Dairy Fuels our Bodies, Communities and Economy."
4th and 5th graders from around Iowa County submitted essays showcasing the value of milk in Wisconsin and in our daily lives. This year, we are excited to announce that 4th grader Lennie Brunson has been selected as the Iowa County Essay Winner for this contest!
Because she was the county winner, Lennie earned her classroom an ice cream party! Thank you Iowa County Farm Bureau for sponsoring this fun party!
Congratulations, Lennie!
