This week: students in unaccredited school districts with ambitions for college could find themselves in limbo. Plus, kids get up close and personal with alpacas.

Hosted by Ryan Famuliner.

Last weekend was National Alpaca Farm Days, and alpaca farmers all over the country opened up their farms for tours. At a farm in Mexico, Missouri, an informal group of bluegrass musicians played in the background as visitors munched on popcorn, picked apples and, of course, saw the alpacas. It was a day filled with families and learning — human families and alpaca families, meeting in the field and experiencing each other. KBIA’s Kellie Kotraba was there.
