FFA Week

FFA Week is one of the best weeks that we have here at SJHS. FFA (Future Farmers of America) members did something called FFA week at SJHS on February 29-March 4 where they would do a different theme everyday. 

So what is FFA week for?  According to Mr .Rowley, the assistant principal, FFA week is to raise awareness of FFA and to have some fun as well. Mr.Rowley said that he enjoys FFA week because of the fun activities they do. “FFA is a very fun program at our school, and it is also at the high school as well,” said Mr.Rowley.

 According to Devanie Furner, a member of FFA, one of the easiest things to do during FFA week was to wear the FFA colors. “We had the idea of the FFA colors, yellow is for new horizons, corn gold is for golden fields, and blue is for blue field on nations flag. I also enjoyed handing out candy if students wore the colors or theme of the day,” Devanie said. 

 Brynn Dinkel, another member of FFA said that FFA week teaches you different things, and if you are part of FFA you also get to raise pigs. “I think we did a great job putting up the posters to announce FFA” Brynn said. She also thinks that they should tell the students that it is not only about farming, but if you join you get to help with FFA week.

 Devanie and Brynn think the best part of FFA week is when everyone would go and guess how many corn kernels were in the jar. They both said it was super fun for the FFA members, and it made it better when they saw the students having fun and guessing as well. FFA week is a fun week for students, teachers and FFA members, everyone is enjoyed themselves and had fun with all the creative activities the FFA members created.
