Today, Verde Tech High School students had the opportunity to use our apple cider press with apples they harvested from the Farm at Bent River. This hands-on experience celebrates the connection between learning, sustainability, and community partnerships. Our students are gaining valuable experiences that connect their hard work in the field to meaningful results. 🍎

Mr. Dambrov's biology class took a hands-on field trip to the Tuzigoot River Access Point today! Students collected leaf litter as part of a biodiversity assessment of the Verde River. They'll be preserving and studying the organisms they found to learn more about the river's ecosystem.
