Today we’re rocking the college gear boogie.
Don’t forget that tomorrow is Boot and Flannel Day! Make sure YOU dress to show off your FFA spirit!
Now for our Ag trivia of the day. Did you know that there are 116 land grant universities in the US, including Penn State? The land grant system began in 1862 with the passage of the Morrill Land Grant Act. This law gave states public lands provided the lands be sold or used for profit and the proceeds used to establish one college—hence, land grant colleges—that would teach agriculture and the mechanical arts.
Come on out on Saturday, March 4th to our GLOW THE NIGHT neon Mini-THON to raise funds for Four Diamonds. We will have a variety of games and food, Kona Ice, a mechanical bull, a dance party, and lots of fun! If you didn’t get a registration form last week, please see Mrs. Socie or Mrs. Hopkin. The due date for registration forms is Monday, so please get them in AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
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!
