Ditch Walking

The chapter cleans the ditches annually as a community service project. We have adopted 2 miles of highway north and south of our school.

FFA Trapshoot

Each year the FFA holds its September meeting at the Alvord Gun Club. We compete in individual and team trap shoot events, after the regular meeting.

FFA Test Plot

Our test plot is located across from the school. The plant science class uses it to estimate yields and the chapter uses it as a source of income.

Farm Safety Day

Every year, members of the FFA put together a farm safety day event for the 5th graders. The kids learn how to be safe around things like tractors, lawn mowers, animals and much more!

Annual Soup Supper

The juniors of the West Lyon FFA annually put on the soup supper. This is to raise money for them to attend WLC. Each member is auctioned off for 8 hours of labor and we also have a live and silent auction. They also put togeher games and activities for kids.

Tractor Day

Every year we try to have an tractor day either in the fall or spring before they are busy with field work. Kids line the tractors up and then after school we have a parade around the school.

FFA Fruit Sales

The chapter annually sells fruit and a assortment of other things. When the fruit comes in the members help unload it in the morning before school.

Food and Fiber/Animal Science

In both the classes of Food and Fiber and Animal Science we learn about alternative ways to produce material out of animal by products like lard into bird treats. Animal science had the pleasure to tour a cattle housing facility to get the full experience.

FFA Week

FFA week is filled with the faculty breakfast, official dress day, district officer visits, and help the cooks serve lunch. FFA week is a time for all members to let their blue and gold shine.
