Project MARCH Students Tour Milkco |
|
Project MARCH
Deaverview students had an
opportunity to tour the Milkco Plant
in West Asheville. Students learned
how the milk was pasteurized, stored
and bottled for delivery. Students
also learned about the bottleing and
packaging of milk and orange
juice. After the tour, Milkco staff
provided a snack and a present to
all of the students at the
Deaverview Site. Students then
shared Holiday songs with the Milkco
staff.
Thank you Milkco for this wonderful
learning opportunity!
