Let's go Dragons!
This week is National FFA Week!
“Future Farmers of America” was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricultural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are the Future Biologists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers and Future Entrepreneurs of America, too." - ffa.org
A big thanks to their awesome teacher Brittney Ebersole!

Valley Falls Middle School and High School FCCLA participates in District E-West STAR Events on 2-8-23 held in Topeka at the St Andrews Presbyterian Church. STAR events (Students Taking Action for Recognition) are individual or small groups that give members the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom with an authentic project that affects the family and community. Many hours of work are put into projects and presentations with the goal to advance to the State competition, April 17th and the ultimate goal to advance to Nationals held in Denver, CO July 2 nd .
We had four members that helped judge and time, 24 members competed in 12 different events with 11 advancing on to State in six different events.
