FFA Week at OHS
The Olympia FFA hosted National FFA Week February 22nd through February 28th. The FFA kicked off the week going bowling in Minier Lanes and eating pizza. All week long the 1st block classes participated in Agricultural Trivia. The winners were Mrs. Mohr’s and Mr. Hewitt’s classes. The students also participated in dress up days all week long, Monday was Green Day, Tuesday was Carhartt Day, Wednesday was Hick Day, Thursday was Camouflage Day and Friday was Blue and Gold day.
On Tuesday the students drove their tractors to school and competed for prizes in different areas. On Wednesday the students drove their trucks to school and also competed for prizes. Friday during 5th block the officer team Nick Brand (President), Morgan Ott (Vice President), Sam Yoder (Reporter), Brett Johnson (Secretary), Wade Springer (Treasurer), Kyle Durflinger (Sentinel) and Guy Hainline (Historian) put on an assembly for the high school. The winners were announced and given pop, a gas card, or candy. Then six students from each grade were picked to play a leadership game that is played at times during FFA events.
On Saturday Olympia took two teams to Tri-Valley for a FFA basketball tournament, both teams were out after the second round. Later on Saturday night the officer team put on an appreciation dinner for students, parents, faculty and staff. We had a great turn-out and dinner was really good. We just want to say thank you to everyone who helped make FFA week one of the best here at Olympia and hope you had fun as well.
