Elsberry Middle School

Elsberry Middle School won a $5,000 America’s Farmers @GrowCommunities donation. We are using the funds to upgrade and enhance our Vex Robotics/ programming class and purchase microscopes and hands-on science equipment. Special thanks goes to David and Brenda Ross, local farmers for nominating Elsberry Middle School. America’s Farmers Grow Communities partners with farmers to strengthen local nonprofit organizations that positively impact farming communities across rural America.
