On Thursday, May 2, 2024, teachers, Keela and Veronica, along with several parents, took SRCS students to Babby Farms in Caldwell, ID. Babby Farms is a non-profit organization with the mission of providing children, as well as adults with disabilities, the joy of interacting with animals. Most of their animals are hand-raised for this sole purpose. Studies have shown that ALL people benefit from hands-on interactions with animals.
On this trip, SRCS students were able to pet kangaroos, along with a 4 day old baby joey, tortoises, ponies, and an armadillo. Students also saw primates, camels, a black wolf, a yak, and many others. After a sack lunch, students had time to enjoy the playground equipment.
