There was a new “kid” in class as Captain, a 6-month-old female goat, from Dutch Hill Creamery visited Chenango Bridge Elementary for “Agriculture in the Classroom”!
 
Thank you to Cornell Cooperative Extension Broome County’s awesome representatives, Ms. Atwood and Mrs. Truesdail, for visiting our school and bringing Captain.
 
During Captain’s visit, students had the chance to sample goat cheese, blue cheese and cheddar cheese... which had some mixed reviews!
 
Third grade students also learned facts about goats, including their dietary habits, and were able to compare Captain’s heartbeat to their own using a stethoscope.
