Orange Day

It’s FFA week!  The week kicks off with a Penny War with the Pre-K through 8th grade students participating.  The class with the most pennies will enjoy a cook out with our FFA officers.  Remember pennies count as good points with the silver deducting points.   All proceeds will go to the Believe Scholarship Fund.
