Across the country, FFA week is held in February celebrating the importance and success of FFA. This year, FFA week was from February 17th to the 21st. Due to weather conditions for the original FFA week, the FFA chapter postponed the festivities until the following week.
FFA week commenced on February 24th and concluded on the 28th. Over the week, various activities took place involving elementary students and high school students.
To start off the week, Monday was Pajama Day along with the annual cornhole tournament. The champions for this year's competition were Principal Mr. Faltys and the math student teacher Mr. Tomcak. Runner up was the seventh grade team of Blair Wietfeld and Korbin Hake.
On Tuesday, members drove their tractors to school and got to dress like a cowboy or farmer.
On Wednesday, elementary kids dressed like a farm animal.
Thursday was Hat Day and Friday concluded with a teacher breakfast, donuts for students, and wear your FFA shirt day.
As a new tradition, “Pie an Officer Day” was also on Friday. Throughout the week, mini ducks were hidden around the school for students to find for a prize. Students could then also use their ducks to cast a vote for which FFA officer they wanted to see pied in the face. In the end, all the officers as well as Mrs. Went received pies in the face on Friday from elementary students. Mr. Fischer and Mr. Faltys might not be FFA officers, but they also received impromptu pies!
Sophomore James Moore said, "I personally thought that FFA week was really great and that it gave us an opportunity to have fun and communicate with others. FFA week means quite a bit because it's just an amazing way to be engaged with the school and program."
“FFA week was celebrated in many different ways from dressing up, providing breakfast for the school, to promoting agriculture to our elementary classes,’ said advisor Mrs. Went, ‘We had a fabulous week and look forward to ending the semester strong as we prepare for state convention!”
