#HeedtheRoar

It’s been a busy few weeks in Ag classes at Jefferson West. Students are learning and preparing for upcoming CDE's like Entomology and Land Judging and other events. Students have been working on the storage shed to prepare for growing plants in the greenhouse.

This Wednesday, the Agriscience students will be attending the Northeast District Greenhand Conference. On Thursday, there is an Alumni meeting which all FFAers and parents are welcome to attend.

Thank you all that have contributed to the chapter’s Affiliate drive. Every bit of money raised goes directly to FFA members through their projects or leadership opportunities.

It’s great and the momentum is building to be a great year!

Patiot Day...
Patriot Day is a United States national observance that honors the memory of those who were killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93, as well as the first responders and others who died or were injured during the attacks.

It was first observed in 2002, after the proclamation by President George W. Bush. On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda launched a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States, killing almost 3,000 people. A year later, September 11 was made a national day of mourning referred to as Patriot Day.

It is a day of remembrance, reflection, and prayer, with a presidential proclamation calling for flags to be flown at half-staff and a moment of silence to be observed at 8:46 a.m. EST.

Good luck to our Cross Country runners today as they compete at Holton! See the photo for course layout.
