Good morning! Today is the final day of FFA week! We hope you’ve had fun and learned what the Ag and FFA do. TODAY’s dress day is Blue and Gold, the colors of the FFA organization. Thank you all for participating this week! The “Drive your tractor to school” day will be held in early March due to the weather.

Seniors: please email your senior graduation pictures for the graduation slideshow to Mrs. Schriefer as soon as possible. The yearbook committee will need 2 pictures of your baby years, 2 middle/teen years and 2 senior pictures. The email address is: lschriefer@blueridge18.org
Each day we will do a Trivia Question- email blueridgeffa@blueridge18.org with the correct answer. First one to email wins! Yesterday’s question was: What was the award Blue Ridge FFA won this year or within the past year? The answer: IL and Region 4 Outstanding Ag Program and Carsyn Stiger was the winner!
Today’s Trivia question is: Name all of the Blue Ridge FFA Officers and their station. Extra points if you can name which one is the Section 16 President. The answer will be on Monday.
Today will be the FFA Barnyard in the ag shop. Teachers please check the barnyard schedule to get signed up if you’d like to bring students down. If you emailed MS. Meiser but don’t see your name – send her an email to remind her.
Rules for today- If you are coming down to the barnyard during a study hall or lunch and not with a class you have to have a ticket from the College and Career Fair. Only students who brought the animals are allowed in the pens and to hold the animals. Be respectful of our elementary friends as you come down to the barnyard.
