Littlestown fire company came to visit 2nd grade for fire prevention week.
Students in Mrs. A. Smith's third grade class had a visit from three students from the Littlestown FFA. They learned about the parts of a corn plant and how we use different types of corn. The students got to enjoy an ear of corn with their lunch last week that was grown by the FFA students.
