On Wednesday December 10, there will be an FFA meeting at Oak Hill Middle High School, from 7pm to 8pm. Also, on Sunday, December 14, the FFA will be going to Wellston, Ohio, to the Jackson County fairgrounds for a Christmas Event, which will be held inside and outside. Our members will be dressing up in Christmas clothes for kids, and they will be having a ton of fun. After that, there will be a Foods Science competition at Athens High School Wednesday, December 17, which will be gone through in greater detail in the next weekly FFA article. After the competition in Athens, there won’t be anymore FFA things until school opens again in January. No FFA things happen until January 19, 2026, which is the next FFA meeting. In other news, Monday, December 8, Mr. Bennett’s 4th period class took a Food Science test, where scores weren’t too bad, since they studied only a little bit.
In FFA this week, Mr. Bennett wasn’t at school because he was a chaperone on the sophomore trip to Buckeye Hills Career Center. On Wednesday, November 19, some of the FFA’s freshmen will be going to New Lexington’s Middle School for the Novice Parliamentary Procedure, to compete. They had to memorize the opening and closing ceremonies, which is a lot of work, especially for the person who is acting as the vice president for the competition. Also, on Friday, November 21, some of the FFA’s sophomore’s, juniors, and one senior will be going to Warren’s High School for the Advanced Parliamentary Procedure, to compete. They, however, don’t have to memorize the opening and closing ceremonies, which is good for the few who don’t remember any of it. There aren't any competitions or other FFA things next week, since it’s Thanksgiving break, and school doesn’t start again until Tuesday, December 2.
