Warner Elementary 5th graders got a first-hand look at the technology, teamwork, and precision involved in the car manufacturing process on a fascinating tour of the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Plant in Georgetown! Students observed the process from start to finish in the factory and learned about Toyota's core values that guide their business. Experiences like these help to fuel passion and purpose in these future leaders. And, as you can tell, they also had a lot of fun! #WeAreJessamine
