Murray, Ne - The Conestoga FFA powers through FFA week February 22-26. FFA members challenged themselves to design, coordinate, and implement activities that are fun and beneficial to member developed. Starting the week off FFA members, like Mason Jensen, created the largest FFA poster ever made by Conestoga. The poster stretched 30 feet by 9 feet tall and advertised all of the activities for the week. On February 22, the FFA gave Ozark Tutti Fruiti Lollipops to all Junior and Senior High students to show their appreciation for everything the students do to make the school and community better.
On February 23, the FFA members dressed in John Deere green to show their support for agriculture. Though some FFA members wore Case International red, the day was a success with Brianna Keene and Amber Burg winning the greenest awards. On February 24, students dressed in their cow girl and cowboy gear to deliver homemade cookies to area businesses. The cookies are given to various businesses thanking them for all of the support they provide both the FFA and Conestoga Schools in general. On February 25, students wore their FFA t-shirts, drove tractors to school, and participated in an Ag Olympics pep rally. Seven different Conestoga Students drove their or community member’s tractors to school including principal, Mr. Friedli, showing off his lawn mower.
