This class of seniors has been with me for four years and set a goal last summer to be winners. It requires a lot of planning, budgeting, executing, and reflecting to achieve an honor like this. They make me very proud to be their Ag Teacher.

We usually give back quietly, but we had to bring you along on this journey. We can't wait to help and shed light on this cause that is so dear to our hearts. We want to thank everybody who supports us. We took your example and provided 10 Thanksgiving dinners to families in our community.

We will be having a little fun activity at the farm this Friday evening from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. We invite you to come take a tour of the farm, meet the FFA members, pet the animals, bounce in the Jumping Castle, and throw a pie in Dr. McPherson's face. The proceeds from this event will pay for Thanksgiving Dinners for families in the community.

This morning Mia and Aaliyah passed the Elanco Veterinary Medical Applications certification exam. These are the first two of this school year. They have been working towards this certification since we returned from Fall Break in October. Congratulations, now let's start preparing for the Veterinary Science Career Development Event this Spring. Regionals are in January, the state is at the end of February, and then the Nationals are in Indianapolis next October!
