Ms. DeVito's students and peer tutors got to take a break from the classroom and enjoy some time in nature with a trip to Homestead Farm Center on Wednesday. Homestead Farm Center is a nonprofit committed to serve individuals with disabilities teaching them to work, learn, live, and thrive in a rural farm setting. Students got an opportunity to work in the greenhouse, garden, work with livestock, bottle feed baby lambs, and create an old-fashioned fidget spinner. The students fell in love with the baby lambs and wanted to sneak one back to FSHS with them.
