There was much excitement in the Agriculture classes on Febuary 15th during the 5/6 period. Leila, a middle-aged goat brought to FAHS for educational learning, gave birth to two kids (goat babies) named Ali and Bugsy, chosen by Mr. Hamele.

The names were selected because they represented two members behind the St. Valentine massacres in 1929.   Leila is in holding with her two babies, and as they grow older, they will either be held in the Agriculturea classrooms, or sold to local buyers.  Agricultural students were allowed to examine the goat before and after the birth, and used this pregnancy and birth as a learning experience some may not see other places.

The Agriculture classes have multiple animals such as goats, rabbits, and pigs, that are parts of the learning process for many of the students taking Agriculture courses.
