Happy National FFA week! Did you remember to show off your American spirit. That’s right today is Merica Day.
Don’t forget that tomorrow, Wednesday, is Blue & Gold Day, and Teacher Dress Down Day. If you don’t own any FFA t-shirts, scan your closets for some blue and gold to match the National FFA colors!
Although some FFA members may enjoy country music and line dancing, not all of them do. Not all of them live on farms either. Two of the nation’s largest FFA chapters are located in Philadelphia and Chicago, showing that you don’t need a farming background to go into the agricultural field. In Pennsylvania, there are over 8,000 FFA members and there are over half a million members nationwide.
Mini Thon is right around the corner! Are you ready to show off you neon colors and support the kids? The best way to do that is to participate in Spirit week. Starting Monday the 27th we will be kicking the week off with Penn State Day! Followed by Penn State day we also have neon wars, PJ day, Black out with glowsticks, and rock your mini thon shirt day. On Wednesday and Thursday during lunch we will be selling glow sticks for $1 to rock with your black out outfits. Your second period teacher will give you a ticket if you participate, which will be entered into a raffle! Don't forget this is all for the kids!-----------------------------
