Mrs. Sprecher's Food students recently took a field trip to the Richland Locker to see the way meats is cut up and processed as part of their unit on meat. The kids asked a lot of good questions and will have a better understanding of where cuts of meat come from and how to select and prepare meat for their dish. The kids especially enjoyed the snack sticks Craig Huth gave us at the end of the tour. A very big THANK YOU to Craig Huth and the Richland Locker for hosting!
