We’re excited to share that Mrs. Rainey, our amazing 5th-grade Science Teacher, is stepping into a new role as our Ag-Science Teacher!

All Young students will now have the opportunity to participate in a weekly Ag-Science class, which supports core instruction and builds on the hands-on experiences already happening in our Outdoor Learning Center. This new class brings real-world learning to life — and we can’t think of anyone better than Mrs. Rainey to lead the way!

We’re so proud of this new opportunity for our students and thrilled to see Mrs. Rainey bring her passion and expertise to this exciting program. 🌱🐾🌽

We’re proud to announce the launch of a weekly Ag-Science class for all students! This engaging new opportunity enhances our core instruction and perfectly complements our Outdoor Learning Center, offering hands-on, real-world learning experiences.

From planting to problem-solving, our students will dig deep into science, sustainability, and innovation—all while growing their love for learning.

We can’t wait to see how this enriches student learning and strengthens our commitment to excellence at Young Elementary!
