Happy FFA Week!!!
This week, the Holton FFA joins chapters around the nation in celebrating FFA week. We will showcase the impacts of agriculture in our lives and the contributions of FFA members in their schools and communities. We have a challenge for all our HHS Students!
During the month, we are in the process of having every elementary student participate in our FFA coloring contest and we are working with teachers in the middle and high school to have every 6th through 12th grader complete a version of this Ag Assessment. The combination of these two activities alone have the potential for every student in USD 336 to take a few moments to think about Agriculture and how it impacts our lives. We believe that is a very exciting thing to happen in our community this month.
Once you start, the test will auto submit after 20 minutes. Also another hint, you might want to have a calculator or scratch paper ready for a couple of them. We hope you have fun with it, but a many of them should make you think.
Best of luck on the assessment. We will be providing recognition for all of those that "meet standards", "exceed standards", and especially those who reach that "exemplary" level. We do promise NOT to publish a list of those on "academic warning", or "approaching standards" although Mr. Bartel has threatened to develop a remediation agriculture class if necessary. :-)
All joking aside, thanks for challenging yourself to try this test. We will crunch the numbers and do tabulation at that time. Everyone that "MEATS STANDARDS" :-)will receive an FFA Meat stick later in the month and be in the running for some other goodies from the chapter. Most importantly, thanks for everything you do to support you give the young men and women of the Holton FFA! Good luck to you for the rest of the spring!
