There is an FFA meeting on Monday morning at 7:15 in the Ag Classroom. Be sure to come and pick up your fruit sales incentives and look at our upcoming schedule. Bring your calendar because we are going to try and schedule a computer work day for proficiencies and degrees over break and possibly a officer retreat as well.
Remember to get your fruit money in ASAP! We need to pay our vendors and get everything collected before break.
Once again, thank you to everyone who sold, bought and helped deliver fruit. The success of our main fundraiser requires the support and cooperation of so many people. We also want to thank everyone for volunteering to help us pick up our motors. We have it lined up to pick them up and look forward to using them in class after break.
