How’d we do on our blue and gold? The FFA corduroy jacket you may recognize from the movie Napoleon Dynamite was accepted as a part of official dress for members back in 1933. The colors were established in 1929, only one year after the organization was founded.
Also a heads up that FFA members will be distributing whoopie pies that were pre-ordered at lunches during ACT today.
Now for our ag trivia. Did you know, it takes just 40 days for most Americans to earn enough money to pay for their food supply for the whole year? It takes 129 days for the average American to earn enough money to pay his or her federal, state, and local taxes for the year.
In celebration of agriculture and National FFA week, please remember to wear your college gear tomorrow.
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.
