FCHS FFA Members Visit UGA’s Animal Science in Action Program

Two Fannin County High School FFA members Adriana Smith and Montana Pearson traveled to the University of Georgia in Athens on June 22-23 for UGA’s Animal Science in Action Program. The program gives students a better taste of what animal science is and what an animal science student would have to do with an animal science degree. The animal science program took students on a campus tour . In certain spots around the campus they had activities set up to give a deeper look into animal science. In this two day program the students learned a great deal of information and had a great time doing it.
