Today FFA members and Ms. Timmer's students in agriculture fabrications took a field trip to tour Wilkens Manufacturing. Steve Wilkens, TMP alumni, happily showed the students around moving to each station at the plant to show how they assemble their walking trailers as well as learning about the different trailer types and what they are used for. In addition they learned about inventory, the history of the company, education and opportunities in vocational work, and where they have other facilities throughout the country. Big thank you to the Wilkens Family for having us today and being supporters of TMP-Marian!
Ms. Stroyan's biology students seined Big Creek today to discover how the presence of aquatic macroinvertebrates and fish can determine creek health!
