During parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday, March 19, Woonsocket High School hosted an open house for the public to visit and tour the new CTE facility that was added on to the north side of the gym and was finished this winter. Members of the local FFA chapter served walking tacos and water donated by Agtegra for attendees while they spoke to students and staff about the facility and how it will expand what Woonsocket can offer for additional curriculum at the school.

In honor of Read Across America Week, the Kretschmar family, owners of Dakota Pro Air in Letcher, visited both Woonsocket and Sanborn Central Elementary schools to read books to the students. The two books they read were “Crop Duster Pete” and “Elly the Crop Duster Saves the Day.”  

While at the schools, they also visited with high-school students in the Ag I and Ag III classes at Sanborn Central and the aviation class in Woonsocket. They presented a brief history of agricultural aviation and some general information about aerial application and career opportunities in the aerial agricultural industry. 

According to Michelle Kretschmar, office manager and co-owner of Dakota Pro Air, “The objective of both the elementary and high-school presentations was to promote awareness and understanding of agricultural aviation in our communities.”
