Olympia will be celebrating National FFA week starting Monday, February 22 until Friday, February 26. The week will involve theme days, games, and a final assembly on Thursday morning, February 25.
OHS celebrates National FFA week every year. Traditions such as tractor day and truck day will be continued.
The theme for Monday is camo and hat day. Students must pay a dollar to wear a hat and the money earned goes to the local Minier food pantry.
Tuesday is America and truck day. Students can sign up to drive a truck to school that will be judged. Wednesday is similar, except the theme is Carhartt and tractor day.
Thursday is blue and gold day which are the National FFA colors. Friday is flannel day.“An assembly will be held on Thursday morning. Games will be played and winners of truck and tractor day will be announced.”
OHS FFA president, Ellie Schmidgall, said, “Olympia’s FFA chapter is really looking forward to FFA week. There will be games at lunch and an all week bags tournament. I hope to see everyone participating and enjoying the week!”
Genna VanWye, active senior said,”FFA week is the week we focus on teaching students and even teachers about agriculture and how pertinent it is to our everyday lives.”
National FFA week is celebrated throughout the United States by many different high schools with agriculture programs. It has been going on for many years.
