Bowers Academy

 March 2022: Bowers Academy Updates:

The students were very excited by the birth of two baby goats early in March.

The students also participated in the Animal Bodies and Behaviors field trip for the Bloomfield Schools 4th graders. They helped facilitate some of the stations, such as the ethogram station in the lower barns, and the immunology station with the ponies and turkeys. They loved engaging the younger students in their observations about animals.

Three of our Academy teachers attended a four-day ropes course training for the ropes course here at Bowers Farm. Project Adventure supports schools and communities through experiential learning, instructing classes for professional development and student programs. The facilitator, Austin, traveled all the way from Boston to work with 11 members of the BH staff. They successfully learned how to facilitate the ropes course, and are eager to share their learning with students.
