The students in Mrs. Traci Lott’s second grade class had a wonderful time on their field trip to Al’s Family Farms. Students had the opportunity to learn about the citrus industry with a guided tour of the packing house.

All the students agree that the best part was the samples of oranges, orange juice, and the delicious orange ice cream.
