2nd grader Hallee Baugh earned a Show-and-Tell coupon in Mrs. Jones class, and she brought the coolest thing! Her dad, Brad Baugh (DHS Alum) builds scale model pumping/oilfield units and sells them all over the world. He taught the kids all about how oil wells operate, and all the materials he uses to hand make the models! They really enjoyed getting to see a well up close, with so many of them recognizing the wells from around town! Such an awesome learning experience.
