One of the neat, hands-on projects going on at York High School is the rabbit farming project in the Animal Science classes. Countless baby rabbits have been born in the classroom over the past two months. The baby rabbits are cared for over a month before going to market.
Besides rabbits, Animals Science classes learn how to take care of many different animals; from birds and small animals to farm livestock. Two little piglets have already been born in the classroom as well.
The Animal Science course has been a nice addition to the curriculum offerings at the high school. It has provided numerous real-life learning experiences for students from a variety of backgrounds. Thanks to Mr. Hirschfeld and Mr. Williams for their work with this important component of our course offerings.
