In Economics class seniors are currently studying the commodities market and they took a field trip Tuesday to the Vernon Sale Barn to watch cattle being sold. A couple of students took a turn at being the auctioneer. Only 7 of the 122 students who were on the field trip had ever been to the sale barn before. A big Thank You! to the Vernon Sale Barn for allowing our students to attend the sale.
