Hey everyone! This page is for us to share FFA with you. Below is a small list of what we’ve been up to. Please know that we will be posting pics of animals that are for adoption on this page. Call the office if interested so we can help these animals find forever homes.
We’ve been busy this semester. A few students went to C**T (Chapter Officer Leadership Training) with me. A few students participated in poultry chain competitions. We competed at the VA State Fair in 2 man cross cut, cross cut, log toss, log roll, water cannon, forestry, and hippology. Eli Bennett and Hayden Fridley placed 3rd in the state for 2 man cross-cut. For Farm to School Week we read to JRTC’s preschoolers, had a pumpkin carving contest between grade levels, and a taste test for the whole school between pumpkin or apple muffins. A few students and I went to Teach Ag at VA Tech (great opportunity to see the college and learn how to get into agriculture departments). We won the first Homecoming Parade as Alleghany Cougars. We assisted at AG Day at MGCC. We had our own station for Trunk-or-Treat at AHS. We’ve been selling beefsticks. We have an active Biggest Buck contest going on. Shanna’s baby, Stormie, had her baby. And, we are preparing for the Iron Gate Christmas Parade. Meanwhile with all of this going on, my classes are experiencing the wonders of pets for adoption. We are teamed up with the Alleghany Humane Society, Inc. and Valley View Animal Rescue to care for and observe their pets and advertise to find them homes So far, there have been 12 adoptions. Tractor Supply has been a valuable partner in this, and we have generous donations that are helping with the cost of these adoptions. Looking forward to many more productive/community events this year. I am creating a photo dump here. Enjoy many pics from the first semester!
