Butterfield Trail Elementary 4th graders had an amazing day at Apple Seeds Farm! 🌱

Students explored the farm, harvested fresh produce, and learned firsthand how food grows while gaining hands on experience with nutrition and healthy choices.

We’re grateful for this meaningful partnership that helps students connect with nature, learn where their food comes from, and build lifelong healthy habits. 💜

It’s School Resource Officer Day! SRO’s play an important part in our schools by not only promoting safety, but by bridging the gaps between law enforcement and our youth.

SROs are carefully selected, specifically trained, sworn law enforcement officers assigned to work with schools using community-oriented policing concepts.

We appreciate ALL of our school resource officers and their dedication to the students and staff of Fayetteville Public Schools!
