Washington's 5th Grade Ambassadors have begun practicing open-ended questions and other relationship-building skills.

Washington's 2nd graders learned so much at Ag Safety Day yesterday. Everything from chemicals to power lines (which was a favorite of many!). 💡 Did You Know? 💡 Electricity does more damage inside our bodies than outside. Always be observant if power lines are near when your climbing trees or flying kites! Being safe at home and on the farm is a must in our area. Make sure to ask your child what they learned! #AgSafety #WashingtonOhana #WildcatEra #GrowingUpTogether
