To kick off the food drive, FFA members collected donations through Trick-or-Treat for a Cause on Halloween night. Members "trick or treated" for non-perishable items all around the town of Albany. 155.4 pounds of food were collected - thank you to everyone who was able to donate!
The food drive ran from November 1-18. Each grade competed for an ice cream party by donating food - winners were chosen based on the donated item's weight. Congratulations to the winning classes!

Congratulations to Maddie Pfaff on being the October FFA member of the month! Maddie has been an outstanding example of what being a great member means. She has shown up to both the September and October meetings of this year and has actively participated in discussions and activities. At the Fall Leadership Workshop (FLW) event, Maddie made sure to help out wherever she could. By showing members where to go, helping with setting up and clean up, and always checking in to make sure things got done, Maddie was essential in the event running smoothly. As always, she kept a positive attitude and brought energy to the group which made the atmosphere more fun. Thank you Maddie for all you have done, and keep up the great work!
