FFA Engages Entire School During Short Week

Date:

by Heather Huether, Garretson Blue Ink

While National FFA week officially kicked off on Sunday, the Presidents’ Day weekend delayed Garretson’s festivities until Tuesday, February 20th. The Garretson chapter actively participates in the week offering fun events and activities, dress up days, and daily trivia for all ages. It even includes the annual petting zoo.

Tuesday was Flannel day,

and the Community Blood Bank came to host the biannual blood drive. It was also the middle school mock contest, and it happened to be teacher appreciation day.

Wednesday was Brand day, where everyone wore their favorite brand of clothing to school. People had the opportunity to drive their tractors to school too; however, the cold weather turned quite a few away from that. There was also the MS/HS barnyard activities held on Wednesday.

Thursday many people dressed up for Western/Farmer day, and everyone’s favorite, the petting zoo, was held on throughout the day. In addition to animals, they have the Agtivity center open. Events were capped off by an assembly at 2:45.

Even after the week ends, the FFA fun continues on Saturday March 3rd, with the community appreciation breakfast at 7:30- 10 am at the American Legion.
