Fifth-Grade Students Tour Greenhouse

A group of fifth-grade students learned more about nature during a visit to the Wolf Point High School’s new greenhouse on Tuesday, Oct. 19.

A class from Northside Elementary School toured the greenhouse under the direction of agriculture teacher Martin Toavs. The teacher expects many other younger students to view the greenhouse throughout the school year.

“It’s good to give them exposure,” Toavs said. “That’s what this is all about.”

The Fort Peck Health Promotion Disease Prevention program helped build the greenhouse.

Toavs is still conducting research before adding fish to the large water tank in the greenhouse. He is planning to add yellow perch and bluegills.

Additional stepping stones are being created by students.

Wolf Point FFA students have played a role in preparing the soil for the project.
