Now for Tiny Mic Jokes and Norah Green getting hyped for spring

This week is national FFA week, there are still canned food drives going on during your first period class. Make sure you stay tuned this week for lots of FFA facts and activities.  Todays Fact: There are over 700,000 members in the United States and it is the largest student group in America

You don’t need to be a farmer to be in FFA, you just need to be interested in community service, leadership, and the sciences.
