Each year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. It’s a time to share what FFA is and the impact it has on members every day. Parke Heritage High School and Parke Heritage Middle School FFA members participated in several activities during the week to promote their chapters and agriculture. District VII officers Cale Williams, Audrey Richardson, Calvin Myers and Logan Strauser were guest speakers in Miss Hallie Jones’ and Mr. Colton McMullen’s agriculture classes. They spoke about the opportunities in FFA and the skills they have learned in career and leadership development events. The group made personal brands based on their talents and personal qualities, and played trivia games about agriculture and FFA..“Hats for Howie” was organized by both chapters. Students could pay $1 or more to wear a hat during the school day. The money raised will be donated to the Colten Howard Memorial Fund. Dress-up days were also held at each school. On Wednesday, the high school members read to elementary students and served lunch to the high school staff.
