The Mid-Prairie FFA Chapter is inviting the entire high school to help celebrate National FFA Week.

They are having dress up days with the themes of USA, blue and gold, career, and western. Senior Creigh Rourke describes the other events, “We also will have an all-school FFA assembly where we talk about some of our accomplishments that we’ve had through this year. And we also like to bring a little bit of fun into FFA week, so we have competitions between the grades doing different activities in a real-life format. So some examples of that are we’re going to have vegetable bowling, carrying a hay bale over a fence, roping, doing pedal tractors. So we’re going to have a bunch of kids competing in that against each other to see which grade can win.”

Senior Katie Frantz comments on the significance of National FFA Week, “I think it comes back to the basis of what FFA is and how it’s important and it’s unique to every individual student. And FFA week is really just a time to honor agriculture education and what FFA really is doing for each student. So it looks different based off of each school, each chapter, so I think for us it’s really important to just kind of get out the word of what FFA is, and kind of what we’re doing, and what our basis of our chapter is doing.”

Frantz says she loves the fact that nationally every member gets to support this organization that they truly believe in.
